Well, I doubt that your Optiplex 755 has a M.2 Slot. It is to old.
Correct. There is, as I posted, a PCIe x16
There are PCIe adapter cards to M.2 like https://www.amazon.de/DELOCK-PCIe-x4-M-2-NGFF/dp/B00IM8L6XW, but there is another problem: You won't be able to boot directly from the NVME disk because the old bios/UEFI lacks the ability to do so.
Oh buqqer!
And in most use cases SATA SSDs are fast enough that you won't notice a speed difference to an PCIe/NVME disk unless you are running a benchmark.
Whereas a SATA interface (aka rotating rust replacement) SSD will boot. Sadly, the order is already placed. (I suppose I could have saved a few $ shopping for a 1T SSD instead. *sigh*) I suppose if I have a /boot partition on my RR I can boot from that? Maybe I'll install 15.2 directly on this M.2 I'll think of this as "an investment for the future". Maybe I can get a deal on an upgrade Mobo ... -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
