I’m planning on giving an older machine a small upgrade with an SSD, but since that machine does not have an m.2 port, I was thinking about buying the cheapest PCIe adapter I could find. Besides the obvious stuff like ports, PCIe gen and lane count, is there anything I should look out for? Specifically regarding Linux?
Unless your buying a superspeed pci-e gen 4 drive you really don’t even need a heatsink for most drives.
Haha) me trying to fit pcie gen 4 ssd into pcie gen 1 motherboard)
