I have an older system that does not have an m.2 slot on the motherboard. I do however have a PCIe x16 Gen. 3 slot available. My BIOS can boot in UEFI so I would like to install a PCIe SSD for my OS and to boot from. I’ve done some initial research and found lots of info but I’m still unclear if what exactly I need.
I’ve seen some SSDs that install directly to a PCIe slot. Is this still an option?
Otherwise, it is my understanding I will need an adapter card for m.2 to PCIe. Is this correct?
Which option is best for installing OS and booting from?
