Hi, I have a MS-7971 motherboard, currently with 120gig SSD and 2tb hard drive
I wish to install a bigger SSD and as it's been YEARS since I have done any fiddling around inside a PC I'd appreciate some help and advice
Am I better off replacing the existing SSD completely with a new SSD and putting windows etc on this or putting a new SSD in separately to co-exist, ie keeping the 120 SSD purely for windows, and installing all other software on SSD
I have seen some SSD's that look basically like a large memory stick, and some that are in a casing, will my MB support both, if so, are there clear advantages to one over the other?
If I need one in casing, I am assuming I need a fitting kit and it will go into one of the drive bays, is this correct?
Not sure what information will help someone give best advice, so the following may or may not be useful:
I will be storing games on new SSD, including occulus rift games, and also music DAW/s
PC has gtx 1080, 16gig DDR4 mem, i7-6700 CPU
Thanks in advance for any help
