So i bought an Crucial p3 ssd which is said to give 3500mb/s but i got only 800 something
I dint check the motherboard Pcie lane while buying it(i had no knowledge)
My motherboard is Asus PRIME H310M-E R2.0 and bios and driver is up to date ,I Found these in motherboard manual :

Expansion Slots
1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 mode, gray)
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1

M.2 Onboard(The latest transfer technologies with up to 10Gb/s data transfer speeds)

*1 When a device in SATA mode is installed on the M.2 socket, SATA_2 port cannot be used.Due to the Chipset limitation, when a M.2 device is installed in PCIe mode, the socket is set to PCIe 2.0
.

So,
1)what is my Mobo pcie version???? 2)
2)Will it give 3500Mb/s Or i wasted my money? is Sata SSD related to this?
Thanks in advance.....
 
You want the M.2 port, not the PCIe slots.

That drive will work in the M.2 port.
However....
"Due to the Chipset limitation, when a M.2 device is installed in PCIe mode, the socket is set
to PCIe 2.0."

You will not get full performance from that drive.
But, you probably won't notice.

SATA drives and ports are not impacted by that Crucial in the M.2 port.
