I'm looking to upgrade my NVMe drive and get two in order to mirror.<br>
<br>
I see crucial has several differently priced options. They're all<br>
m.2 2280, so they should all work, right?<br>
<br>
Here's what I have now:<br>

<br>
Also, since these are hard drives, I could get any two similarly speeded<br>
2TB drives for mirroring on that mother board?<br>
<br>
Don't have to worry about batch matching or anything like RAM sometimes<br>
needs?<br>
<br>
Need to make sure to get heat syncs with these puppies.<br>
<br>
ciao,<br>
