Re: what SSD for XP ?

Posted on 2021-04-09, 13:57

So, I am totally new to this ssd and nvme thing, but... have somehow acquired an Samsung 950 PRO NVME 'disk' recently... What would I need to make this work on a PCIe adapter ?

Glad to hear it all worked out !

Assuming this is via ebay, see if you can convince the seller to turn on the GSP option in the listing ? For heavier items (over 8-16 oz/500g) it is surprisingly cheap, even when compared to USPS First Class packages. Granted, they always charge $4 in handling cost*, but that is peanuts to our local …

I once bought a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz pci card on ebay, because I wanted a cheap quality card with midi connector for my Roland daughter card, and never noticed the attached Yamaha DB-XG card in the listing picture (or text), until I opened the arriving package and wondered what the heck THAT …
