Hi.
I am using an old Lenovo Thinkstation C20 from 2012. I'm running Win7 and the system feels stable and powerful enough for what I do, so I'd rather stick with it if I can find a way to add some high-speed storage. Currently all onboard SATA slots are used, even a eSata. But I could still use one or two extra disks. Unfortunately, the system offers only USB 2.0 connections, so I was wondering if I could use the PCIe slots for that.
On the board, there are:
2 x PCIe x16 gen2.0 (one is used for graphics card, the other empty)
1 x PCIe x1 gen2.0 (empty)
1 x PCIe x4 gen1.0 (empty)
Any idea if I could connect one or more ssd (or m.2) drives through those?
Thanks.
