Motherboard <> SSD Compatibility

chrismparra · Jan 7, 2019

Hello

I am looking to add an SSD into my motherboard for 250GB. Here are my questions:
1.) Is the MSI motherboard and T-Force SSD compatible? (Links below)
2.) Can I keep my 1TB HDD on my motherboard and add the SSD?

My Motherboard:
MSI B350 Gaming Plus - https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-Ryzen-B350-Motherboard/dp/B06XS4FVRN/ref=pd_sbs_147_11?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06XS4FVRN&pd_rd_r=af1b1b8e-12c4-11e9-99bb-699e5a48ea1d&pd_rd_w=FIFNT&pd_rd_wg=bLDZb&pf_rd_p=7d5d9c3c-5e01-44ac-97fd-261afd40b865&pf_rd_r=D2MY5WN0JHPVFNN8FVE0&psc=1&refRID=D2MY5WN0JHPVFNN8FVE0
SSD to be added:
T-Force 250GB SSD - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820331186

Thank you,
Please let me know any extra information you need.

If you want use the RGB light, you need to buy the DELTA S, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820331198 because your MB has the +12V/G/R/B 4 pin header, check the MB manual page 35 https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350-GAMING-PLUS#down-manual and if you buy the one you posted, you can use it as regular SSD without the RGB light, because that one needs the Mb has a 3 or 4 pin 5V header.
