Hey Guys,

 

I have over 2 TB of 256gb PCI-e ssds from apple macbooks and they're better served in my pc. Does anyone know the best way to get these samsung ssds into my rig? Would this adapter do the trick? http://www.amazon.com/SNANSHI-mSATA-Express-Adapter-MacBook/dp/B012Y8F6A4/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1446446392&sr=1-11&keywords=macbook+ssd+adapter

Ideally id like to be able to use them as a bootable drive, but not completely necessary.

 

Thanks guys!

looks like an m2.0 slot. that's becoming standard

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Hmmm, that looks like a normal m.2 drive, did you check your motherboard if it has an m.2 slot? If it doesn't you can use a PCI-E m.2 slot thingy

Well, get a PCI-E M.2 adapter so t works, you won't notice a huge speed drop
