so i got this older board and CPU as a "upgrade" because my older motherboard died half a year ago and cost too much to replace at the time (combined with my RAM set ect i needed a expensive board). i know it's an older system, but i am still planning on using it for the upcoming 1-3 years until i saved up for a complete high-end I7 Skylake set or whatever the current gen would be.
anyway, the motherboard only has SATA 2 and IDE on-board. at the moment i am using a OCZ AGILITY 3 (which could use SATA 3) for my OS, which still is a fast enough SSD for me. but, using this SSD for a few specific games and having a even faster one for windows would be nice.
so i was wondering, could i use a PCI-E SSD or otherwise a SATA 3 controller on this board?
iv'e heard of people trying these on all kinds of systems from 10 months to 10 years but never saw someone actually confirming it. and i also read that it's not designed to do so, giving the risk of not working correctly.
