Another question.
I tend to have issues where Fortnite freezes due to textures loading at the beginning of a game for about a minute or two off and on, but is fine after that.
I have a PCIE X4 slot free which is PCIE version 1.1. Is it possible to use a PCI Express NVMe card with adapter in that slot and gain faster read write speeds or is the SATA drive faster given I only have the PCIE 1.1 version?
Doesn't matter if I cannot boot to that drive as it could be used merely for storage of games so I can have faster load times.
However if I can boot to it that would be nice.
What I might do if there is a drive that works is to clone the main SSD and just see if it can boot to it.
If it does that would be nice.
If not that's ok as I can wipe that drive completely and use it for storage.
However if the drive is bootable I should see it in the boot order list in BIOS, right?
If I can use the drive at least for storage and it will be faster than the SATA drive I am looking at two.

Also what PCIE X4 adapter would be recommended?
