NVMe m.2 ssd

Jeff Bollinger · Feb 4, 2016

I am wondering if a m.2 NVMe ssd will run on my notebook. I know it a ACHI will work but I see a lot about motherboard/chipset limits.

I have a Hasewell Z97 chipset with a 4790k cpu
The model and motherboard is a Eurocom P7 Pro.

Yes, it will work though x4 pcie slot provided for storage.

ak47jar3d :

What do you mean x4 pcie? is that going to limit the nvme speed? And if so will it still be faster than an ahci ssd?

NVMe is the interface protocol, PCIe is the data interface, M.2 is the physical slot. You're running NVMe over a PCIe link on an M.2 slot.

(NVMe requires PCIe, hence the name similarity)

No, you need pcie Lanes to run nvme drives at there maximum capabilities. Sakkura explained it very well above.

so i should be able to use the NVMe SSD to its maximum potential?

Yes, the laptop is capable of it.
