Samsung 960 PRO And 960 EVO M.2 PCIe SSDs to connect to a laptop with sata3 connector.
is there a way to do it? maybe via some cable?

will it also be possible to boot the pc from this new SSD if it will be possible to connect?

thanks for the help

Why would you spend the extra money and bother to do this?

HDD = soda straw
SSD SATA = garden hose
SSD PCIe = firehose

You're trying to pump firehose volume through a garden hose.
Result (if it works) - garden hose performance.

OK I gotta congratulate you on that outstanding metaphor. I actually laughed.
 


ok, but there isnt really another solution to turn around this problem
 


Probably not that would fit in a laptop.
