Suggestion on SSDs

[ayansaha]

Hi, I have a fairly old system which has a Gigabyte H110M-S2 motherboard. I am in urgent need for an SSD. I wanted to get a M.2 NVME SSD which I know my current motherboard doesn't support since it doesn't have a M.2 slot. But I don't want to buy another SATA SSD now since I plan to get a better motherboard in the future. What's the solution ? Is there a way to make the M.2 NVME SSD work on my current motherboard with some adapter or something (I am okay with it giving SATA like speeds now) ?

This is the SSD I plan to buy - https://www.amazon.in/Crucial-PCIe-NAND-NVMe-3500MB/dp/B0B25LZGGW
This is my motherboard's specification : https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H110M-S2-rev-1x/sp#sp

You can get that SSD but you won't be able to use it until you get a board that supports it.

you won't be able to use it until

Would an interim external USB connection be too slow for a main drive?

There are also nvme -> pcie adapters.

I don't know how well they work on pcie 1x though.

Would nvme -> pcie work or external USB enclosures work ? I am okay with getting at least SATA like speeds for now.

Sorry, I really don't know. Hopefully someone on here will have had some experience.
