Hello everyone, I am planning on buying an SSD for my computer, since i'm running out of space, and my computer is kind of slow, I've been wondering if my motherboard will support the SSD. I will provide a link to the motherboard I have and the SSD i'm about to purchase.

It'll be fine

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

@DocSwag

 

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

$70 is a lot for a 120 ssd. maybe a 240, but not a 120.

and I wouldn't purchase such a small drive.

please give more information on system.

That's CAD, not USD. From looking at PCPartPicker prices, it seems to be a decent price for a 120GB SSD.
