[SOLVED] MSI B85-G41 SSD compatibility

[majkinson]

Hi, I decided to finally buy an SSD, but now I realized I am completely clueless... I went through specifications of my MB on MSI.com, tried to google all the requirements for SSDs, but I can't really make any sense of it all... And I don't really wanna upgrade my MB just yet.

My questions are: Is my MB (MSI B85-G41) compatible with the newer M.2 SSDs? Is it compatible with all of them or just some? Will it be able to boot from them?

I feel like a complete noob here, but the more I researched this, the more confused I was, so I figured I would try asking someone more experienced...

No, you lack an M.2 slot, the only way you could use an M.2 would be externally, PCIe Adapter or SATA Adapter. Adapters are limited to M key M.2's but you can find them to run up to two M.2's per adapter.
