Will an SSD work well with my PC

[darkar]

I have a PC with the following spec - P8Z68-V PRO motherboard (not the GEN3 version) and core i7 2600 CPU. I consider buying one of the following SSDs for my PC - Samsung Evo 850 and Samsung 950 PRO - I would like to know whether my PC supports both SSDs connection wise, and will it be able to use both to their fullest potential (maximum speed).

Thanks

If this is the board then it has no M.2 support but with aZ68 chipset I wouldn't expect it to. You can add a standard 2.5" SATA3 SSD like the Samsung 850 Evo, or 750 Evo.... I also am running a Ivy Bridge motherboard and CPU and my SSDs have worked great and w/o issue.

an SSD would give you a huge jump in system responsiveness. But Littleleo is right you have no m.2 support on your board. you could use an addin card but you would may not get the mentioned m.2 drive to work as you OS drive because of nvme...if you went with a AHCI variant though like the SM951 by samsung that would work with an add-in card for a boot drive. But honestly your best bet is to just buy a 850 evo SATA drive and be done with it.
