I’m planning on giving an older machine a small upgrade with an SSD, but since that machine does not have an m.2 port, I was thinking about buying the cheapest PCIe adapter I could find. Besides the obvious stuff like ports, PCIe gen and lane count, is there anything I should look out for? Specifically regarding Linux?

    Mainly because I have an m.2 from another machine in the drawer, so the costs are zero.

    But from my (admittedly very short) research, the prices are almost the same, regardless of the format.
