Question Can I run this M2 SSD with my Motherboard along with several other sata SSD's??

Hi, Im thinking of getting the following M.2 SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 256GB M.2 Gaming Solid State Drive (SSD), but im not sure if it will fit and work with my other SATA SSD's. The MOBO I have is the Gigabyte A320M-S2H.

Just seen some of the write speeds of these things its immense and so cheap... Wish I didn't buy another sata one guess I can send back assuming this M2 can work with other satas on my system.

Thanks!

You need to look in your user manual, section 1-7 Internal Connectors, for the allowable configurations.

As far as that specific SSD? I wouldn't.
It is not one of the more relaible drives around. And don't get all starry eyed over the "speed". Depending on what you use it for, you may not see any real difference over a good quality SATA III SSD.

Yep, the small size wreaks havoc on its performance.

Yeah seems a bit too good to be true and I guess there's only so much a M2 SSD can do for gaming.

So did you get it installed ok?

I didn't get one in the end. Probably spent too much already on upgrades haha.
