Can. Why not. I'm using it for my Z97 Pro Gamer board as well. But my adaptor has a built in fan to cool the SSD.SSD question

Wanna ask the sifus here, I have a MSI z97a gaming 6, there's a dedicated M.2 Gen 2 slot onboard. In the msi webpage there's a list compatible ssd but mostly older & smaller capacity ones. I'm aiming for 500GB or 1TB to use as main drive.
Is it possible for me to use a newer ssd that's not mentioned in the list? Like a 860 evo or kingston A1000 |

Latest bios is 2016 Is it possible for me to use a newer ssd that's not mentioned in the list? Like a 860 evo or kingston A1000 Theoretically should be able I guess. Just that you'll be limited to x2 speed instead of the SSD x4 speed. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=266089.0 |

QUOTE(AtlasWing @ Feb 23 2019, 03:08 PM) I'm kinda confused coz i came across this. most of the time there will be no issue, also the the one you chosen, 1TB 2280 is m.2 SATA SSD, it's limited by SATA protocol, not your mobo limitation.So other than the speed bottleneck, will there be any other issues? NVME PCIE will have much higher throughput. |

Your mobo has 4 SATA ports but can be expanded via HBA adapter, eg https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/25298170..._web_2529817011 |

Sorry for the noobness, I still don't really understand. Went to Digital Mall last nite & asked around, some ppl say can use, some say cannot. Just to be safe should I just stick to a normal SATA SSD then?NVME PCIE will have much higher throughput. |

Just to be safe should I just stick to a normal SATA SSD then? copied from MSI, your mobo supportQUOTE "1 x 2280 Key M(PCIe Gen2 x2/SATA)" Kingston website QUOTE "Motherboards using the recently released Intel z97 and AMD FX 990 chipsets support M.2 SATA and PCIe SSDs. In addition, there are numerous notebooks already supporting the M.2 SSD. Please consult your system specifications and user manual to check for compatibility before purchasing an M.2 SSD." for me i wouldn't stick with SATA i have more spare cash.your safest choice is the old SATA, PCIE SSD (mostly in half high half length, aka HHHL), or nvme SSD with pcie adapter, with the later your m.2 ssd will not be bottlenecked by the old PCIEx2 interface on your mobo. for example from Silverstone: QUOTE https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=575&area=en https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=703&area=en https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=831&area=en WAIT BUT THERE'S MORE the booting problem, i'm not even sure if your mobo support booting from pcie ssd with adapter, ect. here, have some good read https://www.google.com.sg/search?client=ope...=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 This post has been edited by 1024kbps: Feb 26 2019, 02:42 PM |
