[SOLVED] Does the H110-D3A have NVME support?

[Jave10]

Hello,
I have the Gigabyte H110-D3A motherboard. I'm 100% sure it has M.2 support, based on the box, advertising, and the literal port on the motherboard. I was just curious if it had M.2 NVME support. At first, I didn't think it did, because after all, it is not advertised anywhere. However, I was on BIOS today, and noticed some NVME options. I wanted to make sure it did have NVME support before I purchased a new SSD. Any help is greatly appreciated!

From your motherboard manual it appears that only M.2 SATA SSDs are supported.

Here's the manual reference:

Yes, the same thing appeared on my box. I just find it weird that my BIOS would have any mention of NVME support, let alone a functional section, if it did not have support. Is it possible that there was an update made to the motherboard that allowed for NVME? I do know that there have been previous updates with BIOS and what not. Thanks for your response!

Nope... there's no way your motherboard will recognise a NVME SSD unfortunately.

A BIOS update won't be able to fix that... the only way to get it working is by buying a new board.

Thanks for your help! I did previously send out a message to Gigbyte before I saw your response. Your explanation definitely makes sense, but who knows, maybe there is a miracle. Again, thanks for your help and fast responses.

I'll 100% guarantee that there won't be any miracle... their response will confirm it.

There are also a lot of people who tried an nvme on that motherboard all ending with the same result... not recognised, here:

Hello! My sons Alienware X51 R3 just died on him. Looks like the mobo went away. I picked up a new mobo, case and power supply and then transferred everything over to it. The computer starts up fine but it sends me straight to the Gigabyte setup screen where the Gigabyte H110-D3A mobo/BIOS...

Well that confirms it. Just a case of reused BIOS.
