    Should I place my SSD into a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot (500MB/s) as oppose to using the SATA II interface (300 MB/s)?

    Thank you everyone for the advice! Will think it all over and probably the next good sale might decide my direction.

    Good question. My current HDD is 1TB and it's about 80% full. The reason I was thinking about a 2TB SSD is because I heard SSDs slow down drastically once 80% full. I'm afraid my HDD might crap out soon after over a decade of use so wanted to just move everything over to a SSD and leave the HDD...

    Yeah the system is from 2010. Just one SSD, replacing my 13 year old HDD. Just going to copy everything over. I was thinking of going with price as well but it seems like NVMe and SATA 2TB were both about $100 during black Friday, missed all those sales. So yeah which ever comes on sale next...

    Is the speed difference I will notice worth the hassle of using an adapter to plug into a pcie and booting using Clover (since my BIOS doesn't support UEFI)? Would I notice a performance difference between a SATA II SSD (300MB/s) and using the gen 2 x1 PCIe slot (500 MB/s)?
