860 Evo Compatibility

[jackfloyd2005]

Does Samsung 860 Evo have any compatibility issues/system requirements? I'm planning to use a B450 Pro-M2.

sata m.2 is picky, your mobo doesnt have it listed, better ask on msi support

I'll look into it. However, what do you mean by sata m.2? I thought 860 Evo was standard sata, I must be missing something.

The 860 can be had in standard SATA III 2.5" format

or
SATA III m.2

The standard 2.5" SATA III will absolutely work no problem.
