  • Cheers.

    Yea I understand it will fit (work) if it's SATA, question is if the controller (?) is able to handle the throughput / fast enough - so it would not be a bottleneck and make the endeavour useless.

    Sorry if I'm missing a point, I'm not up-to-date on this shit like I used to be..

  • Oh I get you. Yeah, it might not have the SATA 3 spec which was released in 2009 but at worst, it will be SATA 2 so you should get 300mbps.

    Still worth getting an ssd, basically.
    I'd go with an 850 evo or pro - the 840 evo has a pretty terrible design flaw that slows old data dramatically. Newer ones seem fine. Samsung still seem to have the best track record regarding firmware, reliability etc.

    Yeah that's what I gathered through research so far, so figured I'd just get one of these.

    Thank you very much for your feedback, it's appreciated!

    Got the 850 EVO 256GB in the end; Samsung tool benchmarks around 280MB (so basically - as this is the first time I got an OS running on a SSD - this feels very very very fast).
    There's a "rapid" mode I see, can't get this activated on Win10 though.

    Thanks again everybody for your help!
