[SOLVED] compatibilty between mother and ssd

[setasio]

Hi im trying to get an ssd for my pc , I have a an ASROCK A320M-HDV as motherboard and a SATA 1tb hard disk. I want to add a WD Green ssd M.2 of 120gb . Will it work well?

Just get a standard SSD , standard M2 like that one is no faster.

NVME M2 is worth getting , standard M2 is not.

It is a good buy especially compared to an old style 2.5 " drives which have two wires as compared to the M.2 which just plugs in, reducing complexity and saving space . M2 SATAs are no faster but more efficient in design.
