Hello,
I wanted to upgrade my PC with an SSD, but I'm not sure if my motherboard has enough space for it, and if so, what exactly I need. My purpose is gaming.
It is already equipped with an SSD and an HDD.
If necessary, I can explain further specifications or attach photos.

Loading...Can you recommend a suitable 2 GB for PS4 (standard version). I heard the PS4 only supports SATA3? What else should I be aware of?
I wanted to transfer some data to my USB stick and then a folder full of something like this came up. What is that?
Hello, I have the following question about an external HDD hard drive: The Seagate Fire Cuda Gaming Hub hard drive has a USB + USB port on the front. Can I connect the USB stick for my gaming headphones here, or does this only work with the USB ports on the laptop itself?
Hello, I just bought a MicroSD card for my GoPro. 128GB, Intenso, now I wanted to try it out, then GoPro shows me: “SD card is busy” not damaged, but busy, I've never had this before, does anyone know what it is? Is it broken or incompatible? Or should I just wait while the card…
I copied my CDs to my PC but the song and artist are still unknown – can I add them manually to the USB stick?
I ordered an external hard drive (SSD) from Kaufland. After a week's delay, I wanted to install my games, but suddenly a problem occurred. If I installed 1 game and then installed the 2nd, I can no longer open it. I don't know if I should return it or keep it for other things. https://www.kaufland.de/product/437530196/?vid=437530062
Basically, the following connections are available for storage on your motherboard:
If the M.2 slot is occupied with an M.2 SATA SSD, the SATA3_3 port is disabled.
USB or the two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots could theoretically still be used for memory. However, both are not recommended. USB is not really intended for internal storage and the PCIe slot is even somewhat slower than SATA.
At the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot I assume there is a graphics card in it.
Your planned Samsung 980 Pro is much too overkill for your motherboard. In general, the question is whether it really needs to be a PCIe 4.0 SSD. In practice, it is difficult to find a difference to a good PCIe 3.0 SSD.
In your case, you are only on PCIe 2.0. Your M.2 slot has a maximum bandwidth of 2 GB/s (PCIe 4.0 x4 can be almost 8 GB/s). In practice, it will be a bit below it. The 980 Pro is given in the letter in comparison with up to 7 GB/s in reading or up to 5 GB/s. Even if the maximum bandwidth is not everything, you will throw away some power at the 980 Pro.
Since you already have an M.2 SSD and the (fast) ports on the motherboard are limited, I would recommend a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.
If you want to create a new motherboard, CPU and RAM in the near future, you might consider the Samsung 980 Pro as an early investment.
You can even buckle an M-2 on it.
Downstairs is the connection.

Do I need an adapter card or does it go directly to the motherboard?
Go straight.
You okay?
You can either get the old m.2 ssd out and a bigger one in. But if you only have it, you still have to replant Windows (from the old to the new SSD). You can also easily connect any HDD or SSD via SATA cable.
Unfortunately, my current SSD is already on the line. So they get out and upgrade or 2.5 inch SSD? Right?
Very nice. So I could just get these in? https://www.samsung.com/de/memory-storage/nvme-ssd/980-pro-pcle-4-0-nvme-m-2-ssd-1tb-mz-v8p1t0bw/
