Was going to build new system, but any vid card I wanted kept selling out and prices going nuts.
On a whim I bought an Acer on sale as it had a rx 580. Now I am not finding any info on what I bought. The box was not even accurate on what expansions were possible.
I bought https://www.amazon.ca/Crucial-MX300...e=UTF8&qid=1517889406&sr=8-3&keywords=ssd+m.2
Didn't work and after the fact realized the bios had a spot for a "ssd m.2 pcie". So I am assuming something like https://www.amazon.ca/Black-256GB-P...ie=UTF8&qid=1517889832&sr=8-5&keywords=wd+ssd will work. Looks like it should fit.
I did manage to add an old ocz 2.5 sata ssd and it is running windows fine. So i would like to convert the crucial mx300 to 2.5 sata. Have got confused about m and b keys.
So will this https://www.amazon.ca/KINGSHARE-2-5...d=1517890137&sr=8-10&keywords=m.2+ssd+adapter likely work?
If none of this works will just buy a new mb and nice case and call it a learning experience.
