[SOLVED] Is Crucial p1 compatable with gigabyte h310 s2h ?

[#Saleem#]

I have gigabyte h310. S2h with pci gen2 x2. I searched alot for best m.2 for gen2 x2. Finally i choiced crucial p1 500gb .
Is h310 support boot from pci ?
Can the h310 reach the p1 max speed ?
Thanks in advance.

Yes you could boot from the M.2 PCIe drive.
I have tested several M.2 drives in motherboards with PCIe 2.0 x2 speeds and the max speed reached:
Sequential Read: 890.MB/s
Sequential Write:810.MB/s
So you won't be able to reach Crucial P1 (2,000/1,700 MB/s ) max speeds, but you might not see the difference with higher speeds in every days tasks anyways.

Thanks alot , but i need it for rendering ,UI and virtual machine. So i want best performane.
Would you recommend me the best one , in order to use all the m.2 speed ?

It isn't the drive but your motherboard M.2 PCIe 2.0 x2 limitations that won't allow faster speeds.
The H310 chipset is geared to the most basic of systems not for performance.
