Hello,

I wanna know if it's possible to expand my computer with a new storage?

 

From what I can see, my motherboard have these expansions slots:*One PCIe x16 socket
*One PCIe x1 socket
*One M.2 socket 1, key A
*One M.2 socket 3, key M for SSD (PCIe x2)

 

I want to buy this one:

Is this one compatible? And which socket should I use?

 

Does a "PCie x16 socket" means it is 16 times as fast as the "PCIe x1 socket"

 

Or is it the "M.2 socket 3, key M for SSD (PCIe x2)" i should use?


Thank you.
