I wont be getting a sata drive as I will be switching my m.2 500gb ssd to a laptop when I leave for a month long vacation.
Now we got that out of the way, will my motherboard bottleneck the 850 evo m.2 at all? On MSI's website it says the z97 Gaming 5 boasts a "1x 2280 Key M(PCIe Gen2 x2/SATA)" m.2 slot.
After some googling I've found that pciex2 can affect its speed and a pciex4 on newer generation chipset mobo are better so I just wanted to make sure if its worth the purchase. If it will in fact bottleneck the m2 ssd by any significant margain I might just spring for a cheaper option or not at all and keep the 128 gb ssd on my laptop
