Old PC expansion

Electronic_Ferret5B to Data Hoarder@selfhosted.forumEnglish · 10 months ago

Hello, Getting some SSD storage for a 10+ year old pc. Crucial has deals on the SATA 2.5” and on the m.2 NVMe drives. For an older pc without native NVMe is it worth getting a PCIe adapter? I think the SATA would serve fine as it’s mostly media storage but it’s not much more for the NVMe and I like the idea of 10x speed even if not “needed”.
Also, slightly worried the NVMe approach may have some sort of compatibility issue. (Board has PCIe 2.0 slots). Any NVMe to PCIe adapter recommendations?
