Thanks, but this will not fit inside a laptop, and would not connect to the SATA connector. Yes, had thought of a 2.5" ssd, and that would connect to the socket. But thought there would be an adaptor by now !? My rationale was buying newer parts, in older hardware, that can be reused, in newer...

I bought my first NVMe type device: Kingston NV2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD 250G M.2 2280 - SNV2S/250G https://amzn.eu/d/eKTjEcK With intention to use in on older sata laptop, using an enclosure. I thought this was an m-key connector when I look it up. But all state "5 pins" identifier. Strangely...

I was hoping for USB 2.0to USB.3.0 not USB-C. Also the card is an old PCI not PCIe. Surprised there is no such device for legacy equipment.

Possible to get a PCI to USB converter/adaptor ? Wanted to resurrect an old pci SB Live II, and use as an external USB audio device., and put in a DIY case. Is this possible? Running Kubuntu 19.04 on x260 Thinkpad. Thanks

My old mother board is and AMD based UEFI, and flexible boot friendly. If there is an interface, I would get my old Mobo running, for next few weeks, and then get busy start getting the parts for a new Ryzen build, in my first ever microXT system build. Other-wise I will have to buy x2 500Gb...

I hope to get a nvme 500Gb drive for two purposes. Get an old desktop system going again, and then re-use nvme same drive for a new build in a microXT form factor. My old motherboard 'only' has sata ports. Is there a converter for nvme to stata, so I can get a nvme now, and reuse in new build...

Thanks guys. You have given me a good staring point.

Hi Guys I have to replace my slow Duel core 3Ghz desktop. My Criteria at lowest cost self-build. A system as follows. AMD CPU = Effective 4Ghz multi-core Mem = 16GB (min) 500GB SSD to host Duel boot. Space for at least 4 Sata devices for 3TB HDD x2 *, (the SSD) and one spare for emergency...

I have a FM2 socket with an AMD APU A4-4000(3Ghz) and AMD Radeon R7 360. 12GB of RAM. Win7 64 on SSD. AMD has always been very vauge about their "Duel Graphics" feature. http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/dual-graphics# If I were to keep my Graphics card as is, what...
