M.2 SSD in a PCIe x1 Slot

piggy_rambo · Jan 11, 2017

I'm wondering whether an M.2 SSD that has 490MB/s Reads and 460MB/s writes will be affected when used in a PCIe x1 slot (Gen 2) as one PCIe lane is 500MB/s.

Not worth it. A good SATA SSD will be just as fast in real life operations, and significantly cheaper

they don't actually fit in a PCI-E slot, you know that don't you? You need an adaptor that requires a certain number of lanes, or a slot on the mobo.

That's a SATA interface M2, not an NVME. Just get a regular 2.5" one with the same speed and use a SATA port.

That's the thing I have an open ended PCIe x1 slot on my mobo from a previous project and I dont have space in the case for a sata SSD (long story)

Ok, well one of these should work. I wouldn't try using it as a boot drive though https://www.walmart.com/ip/IOCrest-M.2-NGFF-Slot-SATA-6G-Port-PCI-e-x1-Controller-Card-with-Standard-Low-Profile-Brackets/42597094
