Hi,
I would like to upgrade my PC with a SSD. I'm going to combine the upgrade with a clean Windows 10 install. All my Sata ports are occupied and I would like to keep my current HD's.
Does my motherboard suppord the new M.2 SSD's? If not I assume it does support PCI Express SSD's? If so what would be the benefits of a M.2?
When I'm installing Windows, will a PCI SSD be visible just like normal Sata HDD's when managing the partitions?
Which SSD's would you recommend? 128 GB is enough, but 256 GB would also be ok. Budget max €130,- ($143).
