[SOLVED] Can I install NVMe SSD?

[Tom156]

Hi, I am looking to purchase an ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB M.2 (NVMe SSD) but I am unsure if my motherboard has the right connections.
My motherboard is ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX HERO and I can't see where I would install the drive but the specifications list 2x M.2 Socket 3.
Please can someone advise if this is the right connection and if anyone can post an image of how it fits, that would be perfect!
Thank you

It's compatible.
Both M.2 slots on ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX HERO support nvme drives.

Note - using nvme drive in M2_2 slot will disable SATA5, SATA6 ports.
