[SOLVED] M.2 SSD and Old Motherboard

[TheDakPowers]

I want to use an M.2 SSD on my motherboard (B250m-d3h) but it doesn't have the M.2 slot because it's an older model, is there a PCI-E adapter I could buy so I can use the M.2 SSD?

Are you sure that the board lacks an M.2 connector? The site says otherwise. Maybe parse a picture of your board after uploading it to imgur and passing the link here. If you own the very board that is linked above,you can drop in pretty much any NVMe SSD or SATA based SSD on the market. Just make sure you're on the latest BIOS update for the motherboard.

Hmm, I'll check in the morning but I'm pretty sure it didn't have an M.2 connector. If it did I would definitely have spotted it. Is this perhaps a new variant of the B250?

Oh gosh, I'm literally blind. Just went down to check the Mobo and it did have the M.2 connector. Welp, thanks for pointing it out for me haha.

You can check it has M.2 or not first. I checked B250 specs on the gigabyte website. It said it has.
