G day.

Was gonna pair a "Kingston A2000 M.2 500GB" drive with a "Gigabyte GA-B450M-S2H" mobo. I intend to use a "Ryzen 3 2200G" cpu for it.

The thing is, in the mobo manual it states that: "Supports only M.2 SATA SSDs when using an AMD 7th Generation A-series or Athlon™ processor."

So what does that mean for me? Does it mean that "sata" m.2 drives can only be run with my intended 2200g cpu? No "nvme" support for the 2200g then? Or am I understanding this wrong. I suck at nvmes, first time attempting to use em.

Mobo manual:

Ty for any help!

I was pretty damn sure that the "G" models, aka the apu's were part of that. Hmm, let me double check lol.

Hmm, so I guess the 2200g is not part of that, for some reason I rly thought it was lol. That means the 2200g should handle the disk fine.

Aight cool! Thanks all for helping me sort this mess out :)
