HDD, SATA SSD, NVMe, M.2, UFS, eMMC... 🤯

You've probably seen all these terms when buying a laptop, PC, phone, or SSD. But what do they actually mean, and what's the difference between them?

In this video, we break down the storage technologies hiding inside your everyday devices, from old-school mechanical hard drives to modern high-speed NVMe and mobile UFS storage.

You'll learn:

• HDD vs SSD: how they actually store your data
• Why SATA SSDs are much faster than HDDs
• What M.2 really means
• Why M.2 does NOT automatically mean NVMe
• M.2 SATA vs M.2 NVMe
• Why not every M.2 device is an SSD
• What PCIe actually has to do with storage
• What NVMe is and why it's so fast
• UFS vs eMMC in smartphones and tablets
• Why two devices with the same 128GB or 512GB storage can perform very differently
• The difference between storage capacity and performance

By the end, the storage alphabet soup should make a lot more sense.

Because M.2 is the shape. PCIe is the road. NVMe is the protocol. NAND is where your data lives.

And yes... your old HDD is probably still wondering why everyone keeps talking about NVMe.
