Looking for advice. Has anyone swapped the stock NVMe with a faster drive such as the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe M.2?
What software did you use to perform the ghosting of the original drive?
Did you see any speed improvements?
The LITEON CA5-8D512 that ships with the Razer Blade 2021 only has a write speed of 2100MB.
Thanks.

Free software, I used it for cloning/copying the OS drive from my old HDD and its contents to NVMe SSD while I was building a new battlestation.
If that is what you are seeking~~~

Cool thanks. did you do this on your Razer Blade or another PC?
Wondering if there was any noticeable speed increase going from the 512GB LITEON CA5-8D512 that ships with the Razer Blade, to a faster drive.

On another battlestation~~~
The speed has definitely increased for me when going from HDD to NVMe SSD
But with NVMe to NVMe upgrade~~~ what can I say~~~
My read and write speed is just a little over 1.5 GB/s, which is good enough for me.
Comparing my NVMe to your current 2.1 GB/s; yours will be a little more faster than mine.
My opinion is~~~
If you are working with big file contents (GB - TB worth of data), upgrading with a better R&W is necessary.
If you want to go for the best overclocking record, then I guess upgrading your drive for speed helps to achieve it.
Otherwise speed "for me" is just a feature for the manufacturer/s to make extra money on~~~
