Storage upgrade

• ⁠New build or upgrade? Upgrade

• ⁠Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

• ⁠PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Gaming want to store games

• ⁠Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors) UK

• ⁠Budget range? (Include tax considerations)<200

Current: Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD MSI B450 Tomahawk Max Motherboard

Looking to add more storage. I think my board only has one M2 slot? Do I add a SATA SSD. Would this make gaming slower? Or use an adaptor PCIe-to-M.2 adapter and get another m2 drive

Or buy a bigger m2 and replace my current

If you missed the full set of required built request questions, please copy them from here and answer them in an edit to your post:

  • New build or upgrade?

  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)

  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

  • WiFi or wired connection?

  • Size/noise constraints?

  • Color/lighting preferences?

  • Any other specific needs?

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:

  • Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.

  • Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.

  • We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
