Thinking... I could perhaps find a small nvme combo only for swap.
I could get one SilverStone ECM21 Adaptador M.2 to PCIe x4 interface 16,95€ (I also found the reverse conversion), then one small NVME disk just for swap. Possibilities:
Intel SSD M.2 Optane 16GB 52,54€ Intel SSD M.2 Optane 32GB 86,54€ Intel SSD M.2 Optane 32GB 80,54€, reconditioned.
This means that the Intel ones fail often enough. The other two suitable items are:
WD Green SSD M.2 120GB 59,95€ Kingston M.2 SATA SSD 120GB 66,95€
Oops. I did not notice that these are not NVMe. The above two rate at 6 GB/s, SATA speed. They don't specify actual write speeds (on that page at least) With that consideration, there is (on my local provider): Kingston KC1000 NVMe PCIe SSD M.2 240GB 157,59€ Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD PCI-e 250GB 134,95€ Samsung 960 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD PCI-e 512GB 313,95€ Out of my price bracket if only for swap. Out of curiosity, the "Samsung 960 EVO" is rated at 3200 MB/s (read) and 1500 MB/s (write). The SATA interface can support that transfer speed, but not SSD disks (~500 MB/s). Maybe I'm reading it wrong. I need an aspirin. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
