Hi,

I receive a Dell Optiplex 9020 from a friend and want to know if I can ad NVMe SSD via pci-e expansion slot adapter.

I've checked the motherboard and it looks to have pcie gen3 so is there any reason why I can't add a nvme ssd m.2 slot via adapter and get much better performance than a sata ssd/hdd?

i7 4790
16GB DDR
