Hard Drive

A hard drive stores your files, from the operating system to photos, videos and backups, and a solid state drive (SSD) is the faster, shock-resistant type with no moving parts. We currently stock CeaMere internal SSDs in M.2 NVMe and SATA III versions, a common upgrade for laptops and desktop PCs that feel slow.

What to check before you buy

• HDD vs SSD: HDDs offer more storage per peso, while SSDs are faster and more shock-resistant, worth it if you're moving it around often or working with large video files.
• Connection type: USB-C transfers faster than older USB-A, check compatibility with your laptop or phone's actual port.

What we carry

CeaMere M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD for laptops and PCs with an M.2 NVMe slot, and the CeaMere SATA III SSD, which comes with a SATA cable for PCs and laptops with a standard SATA drive bay.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an NVMe SSD and a SATA SSD?

An NVMe SSD connects through an M.2 slot on the PCIe bus and is much faster, while a SATA SSD uses the older SATA connection and works in more older laptops and PCs. Check your device manual first, because some M.2 slots only accept SATA drives and some only accept NVMe.

Will an SSD make an old laptop faster?

Yes, replacing a spinning hard drive with an SSD usually makes a clear difference to boot times, app launches and file loading. It does not add processing power, so a laptop with very little RAM may still feel limited.

Can I use an internal SSD as an external hard drive?

Yes, if you put it in a USB enclosure that matches the drive type, NVMe or SATA. Many people do this with the old drive after an upgrade, turning it into portable backup storage.
