Hello,
I've been out of the loop on SSD technology for the past few years and have been trying to get up to date on the new M.2. technology.
I'm presently wanting to upgrade to a new SSD and see that the current M.2. technology is the fastest and becoming/is the new standard in comparison to past SATA SSD's. Unfortunately, my motherboard does not have an M.2. slot.
My question is: With my motherboard ASRock 990FX Extreme4 , is there any type of adapter than I can purchase to be able to utilize the new M2 platform, or am I stuck with the traditional SATA SSD's? What about PCIE slot SSD's? I'm not sure where PCIE SSD technology fits in between SATA and M2 SSD's.
To clarify, I'm not looking for a brand/model # of the "best" SSD, but an answer to what is the fastest technology type available to me based on present motherboard.
Thanks in advance for your responses!
