I've been using a 256gb Crucial SSD (Only 231gb for all practical purposes) for years and after Windows 10 takes its due, I only have enough space for about two games these days which is getting really frustrating. With prices crashing, I'm thinking of getting a Samsung 970 evo NVME drive somewhere between black friday and Christmas, possibly one terabyte. But the thing is, I have an old 1155 motherboard without a m.2 or NVME socket. I have two questions.
1) Would a NVME adapter work with my motherboard? https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H77M/
and 2) Would an adapter nerf a NVME drive to sata 3 level SSD speeds, or could it have full performance?
