Hi, I have Windows 10 and a self-build PC. I'm in the process of upgrading it and have bought an Asus Z390-A motherboard, partly because I thought it would be suitable for me to make full use of my Crucial 1000 GB PCLe NVME SSD.
I wish to turn it into my C drive with Windows cloned to it.
In the Asus motherboard user guide I have just read, under "expansion slots", that
" PCLex16. 1 slot supports up to 3 intel PCLe NVME SSDs via a Hyper M.2x16 series card"
It goes on to say that the cards are sold separately. On ebay they cost about £45.
I have two concerns after reading this.
The first is that It seems that I have to buy an intel NVME and won't be able to use the Crucial.
The second is that it seems that I also have to pay extra for the Hyper card.
As an amateur PC builder, I know very little about the technicalities, so it may be that I have misunderstood.
So my question is: do I have to buy an intel NVME and Asus Hyper card in order to replace my 250 GB SSD with a 1000GB NVME and use it as my C drive?
I'd be grateful for Any help or advice. Cheers.
