Want to install an additional SSD in my PowerSpecB751
I am looking to replace my current external USB HDs with an internal SSD. I see that it has 3 PCIe x 16 expansion slots. In looking at new SSDs, I'm seeing descriptions that say they're Gen 3 x4 or Gen 4 x4. Does anyone know what type this machine has? Any recommendation on brand and/or size? I'm thinking about the Crucial - P3 Plus with either 2TB or 4TB. These are PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe sticks. Any suggestions?

M.2_1, _2 and _4 are Gen4. _3 is Gen3. They're compatible regardless, but the Gen on the NVMe and slot will cap your speed potentially. I like the Samsung 990's and the SK Hynix P41's.
