In regards to the M.2 that you suggested I put in place instead of the seagate. Does this need an enclosure? How does it mount?
The M.2 SSD mounts onto the motherboard directly and saves precious space in smaller cases. It inserts similar to a wireless lan card on a laptop, you slide the card into the connector at an angle, and then push it down and secure it to the motherboard with a screw. Usually the slot is on the front of the motherboard, but this motherboard has it on the back side near the CPU socket.
MAKE SURE you read your motherboard manual as the M.2 port will essentially be using one of your SATA ports, so if you plug your HDD upto that SATA port, you could have some very strange issues.
