Why intel new chipset H410 only support M.2 PCIe 3 x2?, while even the old H170 support M.2 PCIe 3 x 4, and most (all) NVMe SSD run on PCIe 3 x 4, this is very disappointing, as i just bought new computer with H410 mother board
you have to scroll down in the list to reach the M.2 PCIe NVME.Eh...i'm not clear about this, where should i look in the list that M.2 PCIe3 x2 slot will recognize any NVMe SSD PCIe3 x4?
What motherboard ? Certain H410 mobos support PCIe 3.0 x4
Which manufacturer support PCIe 3 x4, mine is gigabyteWhat motherboard ? Certain H410 mobos support PCIe 3.0 x4
MSI for example. You Can check for indivudual mobos on their web support pageWhich manufacturer support PCIe 3 x4, mine is gigabyte
My point is, who would ever guess that the newest intel chipset series doesn't support 3 x 4, while the 5 year old series already supported it, would you also check that the newest mobo support USB 3?, and by the way what's the use of M.2 PCIe if it only supports 3 x2?It's Intel's scheme of things, all we can do is maybe voice an opinion and hopefully they catch up to it. Outside of that, you're better off getting a board that natively supports PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD's. Also, ask first then buy, not the other way around.
I understand your point, but H410 does support M.2 PCIe 3x4 as for example this motherboardMSI for example. You Can check for indivudual mobos on their web support page
Can we put NVMe SSD 3 x 4 in the 3 x2 M.2 slot? will it be recognized, will it run at half speed, some SSD run close to 3 x 4 (3700MB/s), some close to 3 x 2 (2100) at their natural/full speed in 3 x 4 slotMSI for example. You Can check for indivudual mobos on their web support page
It will be recognized as you can see from this listCan we put NVMe SSD 3 x 4 in the 3 x2 M.2 slot? will it be recognized, will it run at half speed, some SSD run close to 3 x 4 (3700MB/s), some close to 3 x 2 (2100) at their natural/full speed in 3 x 4 slot
Eh...i'm not clear about this, where should i look in the list that M.2 PCIe3 x2 slot will recognize any NVMe SSD PCIe3 x4?It will be recognized as you can see from this list
https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Document/mb_m.2_support_intel_201006.pdf
for the Gigabyte H410M S2H (rev. 1.0) board that only supports PCIe x2 speed, as you can see from the specs sheet
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/H410M-S2H-rev-10/sp#sp
But clearly they will run at PCIe 3x2 speed, as this is the only implemented as clearly stated in the specs

oh...I see, thanksEh...i'm not clear about this, where should i look in the list that M.2 PCIe3 x2 slot will recognize any NVMe SSD PCIe3 x4?
Thanks a lot, that is exactly what i'm looking foryou have to scroll down in the list to reach the M.2 PCIe NVME.
And there, for each SSD you can see in the third column that most of these SSD are indeed Gen3x4.

And they work with his motherboard which is PCIex2 as per the specs here

And for confirmation you can see that a SSD recently review here

with reference WDS100T2B0C , is present in tis list. And this is indeed a very recent GEN3x4 SSD
The list says it supports WD Blue SN550 NVMe 1TB, does this mean it will also support WD Blue SN550 NVMe 500GB?And for confirmation you can see that a SSD recently review here

There is no reason why it wouldn't. Technology is the same; only difference is the amount of storageThe list says it supports WD Blue SN550 NVMe 1TB, does this mean it will also support WD Blue SN550 NVMe 500GB?
But why only 1TB Blue SN550 is on the list?There is no reason why it wouldn't. Technology is the same; only difference is the amount of storage
