Hi,
I have z97 gaming 3 mobo and bought brand new ADATA XPG SX8000 512GB PCIe SSD.
There is a M.2 slot on my mobo:
- 1 x M.2 Key M Socket supports type 2280/2260/2242 storage devices in both PCIE Gen2 x2 & SATA mode*
- M.2 port supports M.2 SATA 6Gb/s module
- M.2 port supports M.2 PCIe module up to 10Gb/s speed**
- M.2 port supports 4.2cm/ 6cm/ 8cm length module
* The SATA5 and SATA6 ports will be unavailable when installing a module in the M.2 port.
** M.2 PCIe interface only supports UEFI option ROM, NOT support legacy option ROM.
It looks like that on the web site, so should I use pcie Adaptor (like asus hyper) for my ssd or my slot is suitable and enough for it?
I guess (if I buy an apadtor) I put it on the pcie x16?
• 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (PCI_E2, supports x16 speed)
• 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 slot (PCI_E4, supports x4 speed)*
• 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots
• 3 x PCI slots
* The PCIe x1 slots (PCI_E1, PCI_E3) will be unavailable when installing an expansion card in the PCI_E4 slot.
That I do not have enough pcie 3.0 slot ):
Which scenerio is sutiable for me?
