I want to upgrade my bootable OS SSD to NVME SSD for faster performance. I'm trying to avoid having to change the motherboard.

I've read on various websites that it is possible to modify the BIOS from older motherboards to add NVME support... Reading posts from other forums, it almost sounds easy to do, just take the files from newer motherboards' bios and inject them into my Z87 bios... Makes me wonder why MSI didn't do it themselves if it's so easy... So what's the catch ??

Is it even worth doing this ? Would i get 100% NVME performance or just slighty faster speed than my SATA based Samsung Pro ?

Did anyone have success with adding NVME support to the Z87-G45 BIOS ? Or can i download a pre-modded BIOS somewhere ?

And finally, any recommendations on the adapter card i should get ?

Thanks!

I wouldn't mess with 'modded' bios or anything else for that matter. It could very easily brick your mobo since i doubt that your mobo has dual bios. Why do you think that you need the nvme for? If it is a straight desktop usage i doubt that you would see any real difference. It would be very helpful for really hdd based tasks. Like rendering or copying of multiple huge files and stuff. If you don't mind me asking.

Yes it has Dual BIOS, reading other forums people are saying it's nearly impossible to brick the motherboard because of this.

I want NVME because i need to upgrade my SSD and i don't want to buy an old technology when i can get 5x faster read speed for only $200 more than a regular SSD. I have read tons of reviews on NVME ssd, and reviews from customers on Newegg or Amazon. People everywhere are saying they can see the difference and that they would never go back.

I know it may be a big investment for the real-life difference seen, but people were saying the same thing when i upgraded my GTX980 to 1080, or when i went from 60hz monitor to 165hz, ...
