The new mobile technology in hard drive

Just a couple of years ago, hard drives weighed about 3 pounds; disk technology has been advancing at the same rate as the size of laptops; where every day they are smaller and lighter.

Today we have a disk the size smaller than laptop memory, something almost impossible to believe 5 years ago,

M.2 is a form factor for SSDs (solid-state drives) that has the same shape as

a chewing gum; These SSDs are generally faster but more expensive than traditional, 2.5-inch SSDs.

To use this M.2 SSD disc in your tablet, laptop or desktop needs to have a M.2 Slot, even you can do Raid disk, if the machine has two M.2 slots.

M.2 SSDs are rectangular in shape. Generally, they are 22 millimeters wide and usually 60 mm or 80 mm long, although card lengths can be different.
