Can I put M.2 Nvme to MSI B85-G43 Gaming motherboard

 

[SkyNetRising]

Where would you put it? It doesn't have M.2 slot onboard.

 

[szogun]

What are the pci-e slots for the small ones and 3 big ones? and is there some kind of adapter I can get for the m.2 ssd and my mobo is red not blue

 

[SkyNetRising]

Yes, there are such adapters. But you most likely will have trouble booting from it.

I am planning on getting a new gaming rig in 2019 but now that the black friday is on there are great deals on M.2 Nvme ssd's so I was planning on getting one but I wasn't sure If it was worth it since the only place I could put it now would be my EVGA SC15 laptop it has a 250 Nvme that is way faster then my Samsung 850 Evo that I currently have in my PC

 

[Calvin7]

The BIOS on that motherboard does not support booting from NVMe storage.

 

[USAFRet]

Unless you just want the 970 sitting in a box until "sometime in 2019", just wait.
Your current board cannot use that drive effectively.

And can't boot from it at all.

And SSD prices are coming down anyway, Black Friday or not.

SSD prices will probably go up in 2019 like they did this year and go down on the next black Friday I have a Samsung 850 Evo SSD but wanted something faster my laptop has a Samsung M.2 nvme and it is way faster than my 850 Evo.

 

[The Original Ralph]

you should be able to use it as a storage drive, and the 970 EVO 1TB is still at $229, and the 500GB is going for $116

Newegg had the same or slightly better pricing, but apparently sold out
