I have an old Dell XPS 625 that I am trying to bring up to date as much as possible. I currently had to replace a GPU that fried with a GTX 750TI. Made a world of difference! Right now I am looking into adding a SSD but I know I am not going to have anything near it’s potential… but anything will help. I know that it has SATA1 and PCI-e 1.0 interfaces. My limited knowledge in that :
SATA1 = 150mb/s
PCI-e 1.0 = 250mb/s (per lane???)
So would it be correct to say that:
PCI-e 1.0 X1 = 250mb/s
PCI-e 1.0 x2 = 500mb/s
PCI-e 1.0 x4 = 1000mb/s
If I could find a PCI-e X2 to SATA3 card and install a new SSD would I actually be able to transfer 500mb/s from the SSD? Seems that would be a pretty good jump from 150MB/s on the SATA1. Please tell me if my reasoning is off. And if you have any suggestions as to a card that would work for this scenario, please let me know. Thanks!
