I can't stop upgrading! Last thing to do is install a bootable NVME M.2 PCIe drive. What setup is the best price/performance? I've poked around on the net, but can't find anything definitive.
Got a tip for us?

Honestly, tough to wade through all the posts, and many of the old links don't work... 2020 update anyone?
I don't know is the best price/performance but simply bought EVO 970 + KyroM2
TLDR - there's essentially 2 ways to go:
- Single adapter. Card is inexpensive, and reasonable 1TB SSDs start a little over $100. Expect R/W speeds above 1350 MB/s. For example, I have a Riitop adapter and HP EX920.
- Switched adapter. Costs more, allows more SSDs. Greater performance. If you need this kind of performance, best to read the sticky.
Common disappointment: "Doesn't boot faster!" That's right.
