It is an optimal storage solution for next-generation systems that require reliability for operating systems, system data, and user data, enabling high-speed data processing and transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a wide operating temperature range <strong>from -40\u2103 to 85\u2103<\/strong> and long-term supply, it is being considered for use in applications such as <strong>sensing data recorders<\/strong> for autonomous driving development, image inspection devices for factories and hospitals, broadcasting recorders and transmission devices, as well as 5G communication-related equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this article, we used the SLC mode 640 GB model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"outline__5\" class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\">Suitable Storage Capacity for Windows 11?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft states that the storage requirement (capacity) for systems to install Windows 11 is a minimum of 64 GB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Microsoft also mentions that 64 GB may not be sufficient for smooth Windows updates and system operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, according to the storage capacity of Windows 11 compatible PCs mentioned in a blog post by Microsoft announcing the release date of Windows 11, the minimum capacity found was at least <strong>256 GB.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because Microsoft concluded that, for continuous system updates, installation of application software, storage of various data, and comfortable system operation, a minimum storage capacity of 256 GB would be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, it may be difficult to find an SSD with a capacity less than 256 GB that meets the cost requirements and has sufficient performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As NAND flash memory-based SSDs generally have longer lifespans and higher access performance as the capacity increases, products in the capacity range beyond 256 GB (from 480 GB to 512 GB) would be preferable rather than 256 GB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it is undeniable that the capacity range closer to 1 TB than around 512 GB is recommended both in terms of performance and lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"outline__6\" class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\">Installation of Windows 11 on NVMe SSD H Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following screenshot shows the result of installing Windows 11 on the NVMe SSD H Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hagisol.com\/techblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/main-screenshot-without-pj-name-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-319\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em> Figure: Windows 11 screen installed on NVMe SSD H Series (some of the display contents have been erased due to the development machine)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As shown, the installation of Windows 11 on the H Series NVMe SSD was successfully completed, and it is functioning properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the installation, we did not install any special NVMe drive-specific device drivers, so it was confirmed that the H Series SSD operates with the standard device drivers of Windows 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also conducted benchmark tests using CrystalDiskMark.
