Hi guy - I was stupid, I bought WD black NVME SSD to be used with my Z97-k mobo, only to find out that it's Z87 and doesn't have NVME support (not even M.2 slot)
I can modify my bios to accept NVME but I only already use PCIe 3.0 x 16 on my 1070ti and PCIe x 1 on Xonar Essense STX, If I buy a converter for either the remaining PCIe 2.0 x 16 (x8 x4) or PCIe x 1, is there a way to make this work without lowering my GPU bandwidth?
I can have a M.2 converter for less than 4 dollars and the NVME SSD cost about the same as SATA anyway so I am not really wasting any money if it can work at reduced performance. But having one device bottleneck the entire system is not worth it.
