Isn't it more likley that your graphics / memory / CPU are throttling performance?
Plus any amount of bloaty services running in the background.
Disk input / output speeds tend not to be an issue, unless you're writing / transferring a lot of data.
(I have no idea what a tr machine is)

You'll need a SATA one rather than M2. I wouldn't clone your existing drive, you'll be copying over all the crap that is probably slowing it down.
I'd imagine that it will still be slow afterwards (although maybe not as slow) depending on the rest of the specs. Saying that, my 9 year old PC is still pretty snappy so it can be worth it.

Hi all, I'm trying to resurrect an old pc to use as the turbo entertainment/zwift/tr machine for the garage.
It's running super slow at the moment, so looking to buy an SSD for it to try and speed things up.
Will all SSDs work with my old pc? Anything else I need to get it all set up? Any info on cloning the old HD to new SSD?
The old pc in question is a Packard Bell Ixtreme m5801.
Thanks in advance all!
