SSD with SATA connection or PCI adapter?
I currently have a conventional HDD installed and games stutter because it's too slow.
I wanted to use an SSD and there are ones for SATA connection and for PCI or for plugging directly onto the board.
If I want to play games like Horizon Zero Dawn, GTA, etc. on medium settings without stuttering, is SATA sufficient or do I have to use the other system?
If so, I would need an additional adapter because I don't have these SSD slots yet.
It's not about high-end gaming, but rather that it functions normally.
ne SSD via SATA connects like HDD, which is then only in data recovery by a factor of 5-10 faster and the access times are marginal
PCIe depends on: as M.2 checker you need M.2 slot on the board, which supports PCIe (NVMe) or you get a PCIe SSD, which comes into a free PCIe-x1, -x4 or even x8 slot, depending on how much money you can spend
Hello
If your motherboard has no M.2 M Key slot yet, the motherboard or BIOS/UEFI does not support booting of M.2 PCIe devices. Therefore, it makes little use of an M.2 PCIe x4 SSD, on a PCIe x4 -> M.2 PCIe SSD adapter card. Since booting on your motherboard is not possible, such an M.2 PCIe SSD cannot be used to install the operating system. On Windows you can use it as a storage space for personal data.
You can only use standard SATA SSD's or real PCIe SSD's that are plugged directly into a PCIe x4/x8 slot. They usually bring their own boat ROM, so they can also boot the operating system in your PC. However, these PCIe SSD's cost a lot and you need a free PCIe 2.0/3.0 x2/x4/x8 slot according to the SSD.

However, it usually comes to jerking in games through a hard drive if the RAM is not sufficient and therefore constantly need to be stored and copied back into the RAM. The storage from the RAM is done on the hard disk. The upgrade of the RAM could help in this case. Otherwise, the hard drive only has an influence on charging times, but not on computing power.

Time short impulse: Games don't jerk about a slow hard drive!
It makes absolutely marginal difference for the frame rate at the end, whether you build a HDD or an M.2 High Speed NVME SSD.
The only thing that SSDs improve is loading times.
The performance of the games depends on your performance-bearing components such as the CPU, RAM and graphics card.
