Some motherboard/CPU combinations may not fully support two, because of limited PCI-E lane resources. It'll be the first time I built a computer, that'll be fun, probablyI'm not sure that it makes sense to use two NVME M.2 drives. If all goes well and my father is willing to front half the cash for my planned setup ill do through pcpartpicker, then the motherboard ill be choosing will be using 2 nvme SSDs (one for the OS and what programs that can't be installed on other hard drives, the other for games/documents/pictures/etc.) ill be keeping the HDD in my system along with the other one for macrium reflect backups just in-case If needed, I can remove the sound card and switch to the onboard sound via the motherboard's sound port and free up slot 24īut the big question is this: adapter card or not, will my XPS 8700's motherboard be able to run an NVMe SSD, or am I better off getting a new computer to truly take advantage of the speeds an NVMe SSD offers? Here's what PCIe slots I got, slot 27 is occupied by my video card (AMD RX 570) which also blocks slot 26, and slot 24 is occupied by my sound card (Sound Blaster Recon 3d PCIe). If I get an adapter card for my computer like this, either from ebay or amazon or whatever other retailer its bought from, and use an NVMe SSD on it, will there be any performance drop at all compared to using it on a motherboard that has an NVMe capable slot on it? But I found a somewhat good deal for a 1 TB NVMe SSD (Samsung 970 Evo Plus), and I want to ask a question I hope can be answered My computer is a Dell XPS 8700, and the only onboard SSD port is for an mSATA sized SSD I got a standard 2.5" sized SSD (samsung 860 evo) as my OS drive, and it has been good for my system when I got it and beyond.
