[SOLVED] Does the MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX support NVMe M.2 storage so it will be really fast?

[ZippyDoodah]

Basically as the title states, i need a motherboard that supports the Ryzen 5 3600X but the only 2 i found are the MSI B450 Tomahawk max and the gigabyte x570 gaming x which is super expensive for me.


If anyone else has another alternative for a motherboard please let me know.

Otherwise if the b450 has the NVMe capability i'll get that.


Thanks!

Yes it does.
1 x M.2 slot (Key M)1

• Supports PCIe 3.0 x4 (1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen AMD® Ryzen™/ Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD® Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics) or PCIe 3.0 x2 (Athlon™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics) and SATA 6Gb/s 2242/ 2260 /2280/ 22110 storage devices

Where is the reference to NVMe?

The PCIe spec>>>>>

"NVM Express (NVMe) or Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface Specification (NVMHCIS) is an open logical device interface specification for accessing non-volatile storage media attached via a PCI Express (PCIe) bus.

Ahh awesome.

Thanks for that!

Ahh awesome.

Thanks for that!

You're welcome.
M2 can support the SATA or PCIe interface or both.
NVMe runs on PCie.
That MB supports both SATA and PCIe.
