SSD for Nitro 5 AN515-44 how is it compared?

ishidamitsunari

would the "Kingston FURY Renegade M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD" be too good for AN515-44?

what about "Seagate FireCuda 530", how is it compared?

would the laptop benefit from the extra cost?

Hi,
Yes, it's compatible because Gen 4 SSDs are backward compatible with Gen 3 motherboards but you won't get the full speed of Gen 4 SSD, it will run at Gen 3 speeds, whether it's better to choose or not depending on the price difference and how long you intend to keep the laptop.

thanks for your reply

seems i can run AAA games from 2018 in highest graphics, i'll probably keep it for 5 years.

are $370 a good price for getting Fury Renegade/ FireCuda?

Kingston claims Fury Renegade got aluminium heat spreader, does it improve much?

No problem, I don't thing you need a heat spreader, in some cases it's detrimental in laptops because of the lack of space inside the laptops.

You are welcome, I would go for Kingston Fury because mainly for the brand name but I have to admit that I have no hands-on experience with both brands.

What about a SSD Lexar Nm620 1tb M.2 Nvme 2280 Pcie or SSD 1tb M.2 Kingston Snv2s/1000g Nvme Pcie 4.0 for the same Nitro 5 model? Would any of them work as well? Thanks for any answers in advance!
