Hello,
I'm a bit confused about the way PCIe memory will handle booting. I'm looking to get the Samsung 950 Pro 256GB. I read some things about NVMe. My motherboard is the msi Z77A-G45. I cannot find wether or not it supports NVMe. I cannot find wether NVMe uses hardware components. All the msi site told me was 3 series of motherboards that where NVMe ready.
So the questions are:
1) Will my motherboard in combination with the ssd I want to buy, be a valid combination that wil allow me to boot windows from the ssd?
2) Is NVMe a software protocol only, or does it need hardware to run?
3) If my motherboard is incompatible with NVMe, is it worth getting this ssd with a new motherboard that is compatible? (currently the bottleneck of my PC is absolutely my HD, always at 100% usage) Or would a sata ssd suffice? I'm leaning towards spending a little more money here and not having to upgrade for a longer period, I put the system together 3 years ago, I'm getting a decent bonus this month, so its time to spend a little money right?
Thanks alot in advance,
W
