NVMe vs. M.2 vs. SATA – What’s the Difference?

First, a quick note about SSDs – they’re fast. So fast in fact, their limiting factor is not their own hardware, but rather the SATA III connection that hard drives have traditionally used. Enter NVMe. Standing for “Non-Volatile Memory Express,” NVMe is an open standard developed to allow modern SSDs to operate at the read/write speeds their flash memory is capable of. Essentially, it allows flash memory to operate as an SSD directly through the PCIe interface rather than going through SATA and being limited by the slower SATA speeds.  Put another way, it’s a description of the bus the component uses to communicate with the PC, not a new type of flash memory. It is also unrelated to the form factor, which is why NVMe drives can come in both M.2 or PCIe card form factors. With both form factors, the component is connecting electrically to the PC via PCIe rather than SATA. Yes, it’s confusing, but stick with us.

When you buy a new SSD, it uses either the SATA or NVMe interface to connect to your computer. Traditional SATA SSDs use the 2.5″ form factor, as seen in the picture below.

What is M.2?

M.2 is a form factor that spells out the physical size and shape of the card that can be plugged into an M.2 slot. This form factor has been designed to maximize space while minimizing the footprint. The M.2 slot is rectangular, with possible widths of 12, 16, 22, or 30 millimeters. Most M.2 solid-state drives are 22 millimeters wide. Lengths can also vary: 16, 26, 30, 38, 42, 60, 80, or 110 millimeters.

Most computer motherboards accommodate a variety of lengths for M.2 slots. At the same time, the width tends to be fixed on each motherboard, usually 22 millimeters wide. The M.2 slots on a motherboard can communicate with the rest of the PC using different interfaces/standards, including PCI Express (used by NVMe) or SATA, used by traditional SSDs.

Each motherboard has a different number of M.2 slots with different specifications.

How to set up multiple monitors on Windows 10 with Eglobal Mini PC

Are you getting into a dual or triple-monitor setup? Here are the best tips to configure all the displays without third-party software on Windows 10.

Before configuring a multi-monitor setup

Before diving into this guide, make sure that all the necessary cables are connected to the monitors and computer. This includes connecting power and video signal using VGA, DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort (recommended) cables.

If you’re not sure, you can always note the make and model of the monitor, and search online for the manufacturer manual to get a better idea on how to connect the display.

How to rearrange multiple displays on Windows 10

Although you can connect a monitor to any of the available video ports on the graphics card, when setting up a dual-monitor or triple-monitor setup, it’s easy to plug them in the wrong order. While they will still work, you may run into issues using the mouse and running applications until you rearrange them correctly.

To rearrange monitors on Windows 10, use these steps:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Click on System.
  3. Click on Display.
  4. Under the “Select and rearrange displays” section, drag and drop each display to rearrange them according to their physical layout on your desktop.

Quick tip: When rearranging monitors in the Display settings page, make sure that all monitors align at the top perfectly. Otherwise, you’ll have problems moving the mouse cursor between monitors from the corners.

5. Click the Apply button.

Once you complete the steps, Windows 10 will understand the physical layout of the screens, and you’ll be able to work across each display and run apps without issues.

If you’re not sure which monitor you’re selecting, click the Identify button to figure out. If one of the monitors isn’t showing up, make sure it’s receiving power and connected correctly, and click the Detect button. In the case that you’re still having problems, reset their connections (or restart your computer), and try the Detect button again.

How do I password protect my files and folders in Windows?

Because most versions of Windows do not include a method of password protecting your files and folders, this page provides steps for encrypting files and folders instead. To password protect your files and folders in Windows, you need to use a third-party program.

TIP: Before password protecting any document, you may want to create a backup of the non-password protected files and folder in case you forget the password in the future.

Microsoft Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10 users

Unfortunately, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 do not provide any features for password protecting files or folders. You need to use a third-party software program to accomplish this.

If you want to encrypt a file or folder, this can be done by following these steps:

  1. Select the file or folder you want to encrypt.
  2. Right-click the file or folder and select Properties.
  3. On the General tab, click the Advanced button.
  4. Check the box for the “Encrypt contents to secure data” option, then click OK on both windows.
Encrypt file setting

Note : If the “Encrypt contents to secure data” option is not selectable and grayed out or you do not see the option at all, you likely have a Home edition of Windows, which does not support this feature. It is also possible that the hard drive where the files are located is not formatted as NTFS, as this is a requirement for the encryption feature.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional users

The steps below for encrypting the files on Windows XP Professional apply to users who are using a computer that has two or more accounts. If you are using a single account, see the other security solutions section.

  1. Select the file or folder you want to encrypt.
  2. Right-click the file or folder and click Properties.
  3. On the General tab, click the Advanced button.
  4. Check “Encrypt contents to secure data” option.
  5. Click Apply and then OK.

Note : You will not be prompted to enter a password when encrypting a folder in Windows XP Professional. However, other user accounts on your computer will not have access to files contained in the encrypted folder.

Encrypt contents to secure data is grayed out

If you are using the Home edition of Microsoft Windows XP, see the Windows XP Home steps.

Show “Encrypt” on the context menu

The newest version of TweakUI also enables you to show the Encrypt option in the context menu. To do this, follow the steps below.

  1. Open TweakUI.
  2. In the TweakUI window, select Explorer.
  3. In the right side of the window under Settings, locate Show ‘Encrypt’ on the context menu and check the box. This option should be below Prefix ‘shortcut to’ on new shortcuts and above Show ‘View workgroup computers’ in NetPlaces.

Microsoft Windows XP Home users

  1. Select the file or folder you want to encrypt.
  2. Right-click the file or folder and click Properties.
  3. Click the Sharing tab.
  4. Check the box Make this folder private.
  5. Click Apply and then OK.

Make this folder private is grayed out

For this option to work on Microsoft Windows XP Home edition, you must meet the below requirements.

  1. The hard drive must be formatted in NTFS and not FAT32 File System.
  2. The folder you are attempting to encrypt is your personal folder. For example, if your name is Bob, you must encrypt the following folder, or a folder within it:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Bob\
    You cannot encrypt any folders outside of this folder. If you want to encrypt folders outside of this folder, see the other security solutions section below.

Other security solutions for protecting your files and folders in Windows

File and folders not frequently used – An easy way to password protect files is to create an archive of the files using a compression tool. When the archive is created, you can encrypt the contents by specifying a password.

Windows ME and Windows XP users – Windows ME and Windows XP come with their own compression utility. This utility can also be used to compress and password protect files.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 users – Windows Vista and Windows 7 also include a compression utility. However, password protection for the compressed files is not possible without the use of a third-party software program.

TIP: When a file is compressed, users can still view a listing of the files in the compressed file. If you want both your file names and the contents to be hidden, move all the files into a single folder and password protect that folder.

File and folders frequently used or accessed

If you need to password protect or encrypt data you frequently use, you need to install a third-party program that allows you to protect your files and folders. Below are some free and commercial solutions.

  • 7-Zip – A free file and folder zipping utility, which also includes the ability to password protect zipped files and folders.
  • AxCrypt – An excellent free encryption utility that enables users to encrypt all files within a folder and not allow those files to be viewed unless a passphrase (password) is known.
  • Folder Guard – A commercial version of a password protection software that enables you to password protect files, folders, and other Windows resources.
  • Protected Folder– For a small fee, it’s an excellent software program that enables you to password protect folders.

Things to remember when encrypting or password protecting files and folders

  1. There is no such thing as a 100% protected file. There are numerous tools, utilities, and instructions for how to break encryption and passwords on files. However, the protection methods listed above will protect your files from the majority of users who may encounter them. If you are working with really sensitive data, we suggest a commercial product for protecting your files and data.
  2. Even though a file or folder may be password protected, it still can be deleted (unless the program supports the ability to protect files from being deleted). Always remember to backup all your files, even those protected by passwords.
  3. If you forget the password, unless you’re willing to spend the time attempting to break it or pay someone else to break the password, all the data in the file or folder will be lost. Thus, it is important to backup a copy of the non-password protected files or folders, just in case.
