With the launch of 4 TB M.2 NVMe SSDs now being available in all Eurocom models, Eurocom has once again altered the laptop storage landscape. Eurocom uses blazing-fast Sabrent Rocket 4 TB M.2 NVMe SSDs (sized 22 mm x 80 mm), that are small enough to fully meet the size and heat requirements of today's thin-and-light laptops. While the majority of laptop manufacturers today offer a maximum SSD storage capacity of only 8 TB in their laptops, such as the non-NVMe SSD storage in Apple's 16" Macbook Pro, Eurocom offers double the total capacity along with six times faster read and write speeds in its laptops.

It is important to note that Eurocom uses Sabrent Rocket 4 TB M.2 NVMe SSDs, where NVMe SSD read and write speeds are over 30 times faster than the more commonly-used and lower cost 2.5" SATA3 SSDs. In general, 2.5" SATA3 SSDs have a read and write speed of about 500 MB/s while NVMe SSDs read and write speeds are about 3000 MB/s, or 6 times faster than 2.5" SATA3 SSDs, such as the storage drives used in the 16" Macbook Pro. This large difference in read and write speeds between NVMe and non-NVMe SSDs is shown in the chart below.



This considerable difference in read and write speeds are ideal for power users who work with massive amounts of data and have little room for error when it comes to their critical data being transferred and stored. These power users include, but are not limited to: IT professionals such as Network Managers and IT Architects, software designers/engineers who want to reduce their transfer and render times, professional gamers who want to fully-optimize their computing experience, and many more. If a user is working with a large amount of data, an NVMe SSD is the solution for those looking to greatly improve transfer/render times while considerably reducing the risk of losing important data.

Along with its impressive storage options, Eurocom packs other powerful hardware components inside its lightweight, high-performance laptops. This is showcased in the Nightsky RX15 Superlaptop, where this 15.6" system can be configured with up to an i9-9980HK CPU, non-Max Q NVIDIA RTX 2070 GPU, up to 64 GB of RAM and a whopping 16 TB of SSD storage to provide incredible power and performance to its users.

The 15.6" Nightsky RX15 Superlaptop supports up to 2x 4 TB M.2 NVMe SSDs combined with 1x 2.5" SATA3 SSD for a total of 16 TB of internal SSD storage. Only weighing 2.5 kg/5.5 lbs, the Nightsky RX15 is lightweight and compact, making this system easy to carry around without sacrificing any computing power and performance. However, unlike many laptops in its class, such as the 16" Macbook Pro, Eurocom laptops lead the way in customization by giving users easy-to-access internal components.

To promote and encourage user-upgradeability, Eurocom has equipped the Nightsky RX15 with easy-to-access dual-channel memory slots supporting up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM. The RX15 also has a total of three physical storage drives for up to 16 TB of SSD storage available in RAID 0/1 configuration. Eurocom users are able to swap out and/or replace internal components themselves, eliminating the need to send the laptop back to the manufacturer for any needed repairs or upgrades, which can result in loss of productivity and a lot of downtime. With Eurocom laptops, users can save more time and money while having more options for upgrades/repairs in the future by being able to purchase parts across a wider range of OEMs or suppliers.

To compare, other laptop manufacturers simply do not promote laptop upgrades and doing so can be very costly to the user. An example can be seen in the 16-inch Macbook Pro with six P5 pentalobe screws that discourage users to perform any modifications themselves, requiring users to ship their laptops to the manufacturer for days or even weeks at a time. As a result, future upgrades can be quite expensive and time consuming.

In conclusion, the Eurocom Nightsky RX15 offers unmatched user-customization and upgradeability while also being a lightweight powerhouse capable of incredible performance with its top-of-the-line hardware parts, copper heat sinks for superior cooling, immersive 15.6-inch display OLED 4K, along with an abundance of ports and security features. This system is perfect for highly-demanding power users like architects, designers of all kinds, audio and video professionals and pro gamers searching for a user-upgradeable system which puts massive power in their hands while being on-the-go, anytime, anywhere.

TIL 2 things:

"NVMe SSD read and write speeds are over 30 times faster than the more commonly-used and lower cost 2.5" SATA3 SSDs "

and

"2.5" SATA3 SSDs have a read and write speed of about 500 MB/s while NVMe SSDs read and write speeds are about 3000 MB/s, or 6 times faster than 2.5" SATA3 SSDs "

What exactly did i learn? That 6 is over 30. Or am i confused?

They are also soldered onto the system board and Apple deleted the life boat connector. Perfect Apple move, screws the customers and boosts profits.

You are right about the speeds though.
