New 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD for My Desktop

When the prices of flash memory prices plummeted last year, I upgraded my desktop’s boot drive to a 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe m.2 SSD (pictured in the top m.2 position in the photo above). This past week, I saw that Microcenter had the same drive on sale, so I picked up a second one (pictured in the bottom m.2 position in the photo above) to replace a 512GB Western Digital drive.

To install the new SSD in the bottom slot, I had to remove the video card, replace the SSD, and re-install the video card.
