SSD form factor standards
SSD form factor standards are standardized sizes and connector types that ensure compatibility with different computers and devices. The most common are 2.5-inch drives, similar in size to a laptop hard drive, and M.2 drives, small and rectangular, fitting directly onto the motherboard. M.2 drives can support various interfaces like SATA or PCIe, affecting speed. There are also other sizes like mSATA and U.2, each designed for specific uses. These standards help manufacturers produce SSDs that fit securely and work efficiently across a range of desktops, laptops, and servers.
