I bought a 15.36TB SSD SAMSUNG PM1633A SAS MZ-ILS15TA DELL EMC MZ1LS15THMLS-000D4

I am trying to figure out what to buy in order to connect it to my desktop PC via PCIE. Is this a viable or recommended solution?

    BTW OP: when you get this set up, please run some benchmarks and tell this community how it performs. I’ve had a free PM1633A sitting on my desk for 1.5 years, just because I haven’t gotten around to it. I’m keen to know how it behaves.

      Sure, I would love too. Do you know what software to run in Windows to provide good results? I can temporarily attach it to my linux machine if necessary

        I’m afraid I don’t have much experience with benchmarking in Windows. I think I’ve seen CrystalDiskMark mentioned in a few places, and it’s FOSS under MIT License.

          Cool, I will give it a try. I may install it to my linux machine and access over samba. I need to test if game installs will work over network like this first
