Nice. I have a (this week only) option for a 1TB 660p Series PCI-E x4 NVMe M.2 SSD (Does my Dell Optiplex 755 have a slot for that?)
I'm not sure. The spec sheet says that there are 4 slots for cards https://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_755_techspecs.p... 15 16 17 18 two regular PC slots, one PCI Express x1 one PCI Express x16 I look at the Wikipedia M.2 page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2 and see the illustration of the mSATA SSD and M.2 cards. The mSTAT looks like it would fit in the PCI Express x16 slot The m.2 card .... no. This looks more like what is in the 755 mobo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#PCI_Express_(standard) Surely there are adaptors? https://www.newegg.ca/p/35Y-005D-00005 C$20 https://www.amazon.ca/adapter-interface-Suppor-Express-2230-2280/dp/B07432BR... but what s the cost in speed? At what point do I give up on the 755 and go for either a mobo replacement or a whole new machine rather than just 'upgrading' it? -- 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
