Question Current SSD incompatible with new mobo. Suggestions?

[Rhez]

Hello everyone!

I am currently planning on getting an MSI B360 Bazooka mobo, in order to put an i7 8700 in my gaming PC. But according to Userbenchmark, I guess my current Intenso SATA III 480GB SSD in incompatible with that motherboard?

I can spare just about 100 bucks for a new SSD, that will be used for both OS and storage, at least until I get an external to store my media files on. What would you suggest? I've been considering the Samsung 860 EVO 500gb, but I can save a good thirty dollars, by going with the WD Blue 500gb. Is the price worth it? Do you have some cool alternatives?

Why wouldn't it be compatible?
That info is wrong it's 100% COMPATIBLE.

what do you mean incompatible ?

There is no reason why a standard SATA SSD would not work with the system, you don't need to replace what you have. Once you swap the motherboard, install Windows clean on the drive you have, won't have any issues.

Well, you have no idea how much that puts my mind at ease. So I can write this off as a bug or mistake? (I know the CPU is incompatible, this is my current setup save for the mobo)

That motherboard is incompatible with the selected processor. You either need an previous generation motherboard if you want to keep that CPU or a 8th or 9th gen CPU if you want to keep that motherboard.

Yes, I know. As I wrote, I'm getting that mobo to put an i7 8700 in it.
