I dont mean the capacity, i mean the actual size of an m.2 ssd. They are considerably smaller than SATA ssds

Ah ok. So my ssd doesnt have storage for games but even though little wear and tear is seen with games on ssds, ill mainly stick to HDDs for peace of mind. Thanks for your help, really appreciate it

Just a similar question. If i did run games off a HDD, would it effectively use the ssd less? All i want to know is if the read/ writes of the game is not going towards the ssd.

What about m.2 NvME drives?
Looking online, your drive seems to be a SATA one. Would NvME drives have a shorter life span due to their size

I had an original samsung drive that comes with a surface pro 4. Replaced the failed drive with the exact same make/model.

Hmm, so the ssd line up is just bad?
After further inspection though of my dead pc, the mother board straight up refused to read any jsjsnndjdndnjdjdndjxunejsudnssd. So even so, would my motherboard be at risk still if i run from a HDD. Sorry if my questions sound stupid.
Now that you do mention it, after i purchased a new motherboard, i might look into opening my computer up again and replacing the ssd with my previous old one and see if it was actually working fine

Well i had a surface. After the drive died (first BSODS, then no detection in the first place) i searched online and it seems that its a common fault for the ssd to die that quick. It was only 2 years

Mines weird. Its to the point where if i click a video, it instantly says something along the lines of “cannot play this video”.
Reinstalling fixes it for like 10 minutes.
