M.2 sata on m.2 PCIe port

[Sandip2507]

hi LINUS.

i m Sandip I have dell optiplex 7040 mid tower .

i7 6700

32gb ram 

 

I use PC for my architectural work

recently I need to update 2 things .

ssd and video card.

my MoBo says m.2 socket 3 . In manual I read it’s m.2 PCIe X4 m key socket 

can I install wd blue or any m.2 Daya drive to m.2 PCIe slot. ?

and 2nd question is my psu is only 280 watt . When I checked power drawn on kilowatt meter it shows 135watt for my rendering jobs .

i want to ask u of installing Quadro p1000 will help . For now I m using default amd r 370x . 

And what is max my MoBo PCIe x16 slot power output. I saw on Internet saying it’s limited to some range so can’t use p1000

[Sandip2507]

It say on Manual

q170

What programs are you using? The gpu may or may not help, depends on if it cares about pro grade gpu's

 

You can use a sata m.2 ssd in this system.

yea a quadro will help here, that p1000 will work well here.

Is it really that helpful to use m.2 PCIe X4. Or even m.2 sata is enough for my job .?

A pcie drive will load projects a bit faster. Wether its worth it is upto you. Id personally get something like a 660p or a sx8200 here.

I m worried about power supply. Dell manual say it is only 280watt. 

P1000 takes 45watt. 

But I guess my MoBo is limited to only 35watt on PCIe x16

That should work fine in here. 280w is more than enough for these parts.

660p from Intel . 

I was checking options for wd black PCIe X4. Or a Data xpg sx8200  burn higher capacity ssd are too costly in India

how big are these drives?

 

Is this just os and programs? Or are they storing the projects aswell?

Thanks a lot electronic wizardly . Thanks for giving so valuable time and feedback. It’s really helping me clear my doubts 

[Sandip2507]

I ll need ur suggestion here sir. 

Should I buy only 250 gb PCIe X4 ssd and continue using my HDd for storage . 

But again it ll take a lot time to read rendering input data from hdd. And ssd ll only help uploading programs faster but if I store my data on hdd still my rendering ll lack speed.’

Id get a 500gb ssd if you can. Loading projects form a ssd will be much faster. Sata will be fine here, esp if you can get a bigger sata ssd.
