deanprananda

Hello, Everyone.

I have a Acer Predator Helios Neo 16, Which NVMe gives best performance and long durability (also safe) for this laptop? My Laptop has 2 nvme slots and one of c: is ordinary samsung nvme model while no NVMe in my second slot because my second NVMe (TeamGroup) was removed due of unreadable.

While still waiting for my TeamGroup arrived, i still looking for other recommended second NVMe that recommended for this laptop not just for gaming but also saves valuable and important data.

The best that I’ve found from personal experience over many years is the Samsung SSDs drives, as I’ve been using them for 8 years now for both 2.5” SATA 3 SSD format drive and M.2 SSD PCIe 3 or 4 drive formats.

The best boot drive in my opinion for your excellent Acer high end gaming laptop the PHN16-72 14th Gen cpu that you have, is the Gen 4 x4 lane Samsung 990 Pro NVMe with Heatsink, which will fit inside your laptop and you will be able to close the back lid also, this Gen 4 M.2 is the quickest and most reliable and has the best software on the market with the Samsung Magician software that has M.2 firmware update, performance benchmarking and temp monitoring and an internal and another software for drive cloning called Data Migration, so you can do an M.2 clone also, so the Samsung M.2 and 2.5” SSD drives come with a complete package.

I’m using this drive in my PHN16-71 so that is why I can tell you all this from personal experience, as its very speedy and excellent for gaming with performance benchmarking like below. But if you want to see other drives and how they perform, have a look at the Tom’s Hardware SSD Benchmarks Hierarchy 2025 and chose your own preferred M.2 SSD drive. Good luck and hope this helps you out.
