How to choose — what our testing shows

An SSD is the upgrade you feel most

If you're still on a hard drive or a slow SATA SSD, a fast NVMe drive transforms boot, load and install times. It's one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make, and current Gen4 drives are inexpensive.

FAQ

Common questions
