Pretty happy with the new PC, but I have one little niggle.
It's not a problem at the moment, but the storage is a bit limited, & I've been thinking of something which would take a fair bit of it, leaving less margin than I'd really like. There's a bay for a SATA drive*, & I thought that future-proofed it: I could pop a spinning thing in if I needed it. But now I've got used to SSD speed, & especially latency. So . . . could I put a SATA SSD in there? I know it'd not be as blisteringly fast as the NVMe one the computer came with, but it'd be faster than a rotating HDD, wouldn't it? Just for data - programs would go on the PCIe NVMe device, alongside the OS.
Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't do it?
*Says "SATA AHCI, up to 6 Gbps" in the spec. The SSD already in the computer is "PCIe Gen3.0x4 NVMe, up to 32 Gbps"
