m.2

A friend of mine gifted me a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD. My current desktop has a Z370 GAMING PLUS motherboard. I don't believe my motherboard has the right slot for M.2. What would be the best way to get the SSD to work with my desktop? I know enough about computers to be...

I have ASRock X399 Taichi with two M.2 NVMe (Intel 660P 2TB). One is used for the OS (Ubuntu) and the other is for the storage. I installed another NVMe (Seagate FireCuda 510 2TB), but the system does not boot (the boot drive is still one of the Intel 660P drives). When I remove the third NVMe...

I have a pre-built MSI desktop that I recently purchased from CDW. It originally came with a SATA SSD as the primary drive, but I've replaced it with a Samsung 970 PLUS NVME drive in the M.2 slot. It works nicely, but according to the Samsung Magician app (and also HWMON) the temps on the M.2...

Hello, so a while back when I was building my pc I was going to install windows on my M.2 driver, unfortunately during the build I tripped over the power cable and it turned off the computer. The pc became unbootable and I had to instead install windows on to my SSD. Is there a way to somehow...

This may be silly question but I just want to confirm I have had this gigabyte b150m-dsh3 (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-B150M-DS3H-rev-10#ov) for the las five years or so. Haven't tried an m.2 yet and wanted to put one on it, checking in the web it says m.2 pci e/sata compatible...

Hello! I have recently gotten a WD Blue 2TB M.2 SATA SSD, and I installed it alongside my other 2 ssds that I had before. I changed the configuration of my regular ssds to the slots that the manual said would work alongside a M.2 drive. After installing this and allocating memory everything...

Howdy everyone. I have a taichi x370 Asrock with a ryzen 1700x, but I seem to be having some issues. I have 2 m.2s installed already taking up 2 of the pci lanes, plus a gpu. PCI slot 2 should be fine but it seems to only see one of the m.2's. I am not looking for a fancy raid or anything. I...

Hello to all, I am interested to know whether I can have another m.2 slot on my motherboard. The case is, I already have 500GB drive on my existing m.2 slot and I bought another 1TB. It would be great if I could combine them, if not i guess I will sell my 500GB and keep 1TB. Here is a link to...

Hello there, I've installed my windows on Samsung 970 EVO PLUS (I'm pretty sure) But in the motherboard bios settings it's showing that the Windows Boot Manager is Samsung EVO 860 and M.2 SSD as the 2nd option. But if i change the boot priorities as the m.2 first and Windows boot...

Hello & thank you in advance for any help. I've recently built my 4th PC, which is intended to be a lightweight ITX build for music production. I've elected to use just one drive, which is the Intel660p 512gb M2. When I boot, my X570 ITX UEFI can't seem to recognise the drive. If I boot...

I think I may have messed something up with my m.2 drive. In my last post I was having some issues with it, and I thought I had fixed it, but I just realized on the last bios time its 30seconds. Being as I have an m.2 I really dont think 30 seconds is where I should be. Specs: intel i7-7000k...

Hi Guys, I have been building a new setup over the last couple days where I upgraded everything bar the GPU. My issue is with the M.2 - XPG Spectrix S40G 2280 PCIe Gen3x4 and installing windows to it. This is the only drive I have in the system at the moment waiting for more drives in the...

So i have preordered the new Z590 Rog Maximus 13 Extreme Glacial and I'm looking at its 5 M.2 ports. Now for context, I'm upgrading from Z97 so I predate m.2s. I know some use the CPU PCI lanes and some use the PCH/Chipset. Now I've looked at the digital manual and can't understand it, Please...
