Hi,

i have Z97-A moter board, Does it have SATA III Option and does it work with Samsung 850 EVO 250 gb?

If yes, does it make full use of That SSD or this mother board might bottleneck the SSD?

SATA III, M2 SSD will work on this mobo?

i am asking about following SSD

All 4 Sata ports on that MB are SATA3 and you will take full advantage of that SSD.

Thanks a lot for help friends,

i see following storage detail in my mother board spec

1 x SATA Express port, compatible with 2 x SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports
1 x M.2 Socket 3, , with M Key, type 2260/2280 storage devices support (PCIE mode)
4 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), gray


on which one, i should connect the 850 evo SSD?

You can run any sata 3 will work with any sata 2 drive two they go from sata 1 2 and 3 all work on your mobo its same connection You can do as much as 10gigabit a sec that highest bandwith data can be sent to mobo from the sata connected device. Not all sata will have 10gb but everything will just peak at whatever its rated to do . You can install 3gb as second hard drives 6 gb sec .

1. Device and mobo support SATA 2 - use of a SATA 3 cable will not get you the 6GB/s due to physical limitations of device and mobo.
2.Device and mobo support SATA 3 - use of a SATA 2 cable will not get you the 6GB/s due to physical limitation of the cable.
3. Device supports SATA 3, but mobo supports SATA 2 - using either SATA 2 or 3 cable will result in 3GB/s.
4. Device supports SATA 2, but mobo supports SATA 3 - using either cable will result in 3GB/s.
5. Device and mobo support SATA 3 - use of SATA 2 cable will result in 3GB/s
6. Device and mobo support SATA 3 - using a SATA 3 cable will get you the 6GB/s

Thanks again for the help, one more doubt, it works on both PC and laptop right friends? Mine is PC with above noted specs.

All of the SATA ports on the ASUS Z97-A are SATA III (i.e. Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s)
.
This is the first SATA port in the default BIOS boot order:
