Question NVMe SSD as boot disk

[Mawla]

Could someone please explain why the specs list for some mainstream motherboards say "Supports NVMe SSD as boot disks" as if this is a special feature?
Are there some models, perhaps some older ones, that don't?

I think that is true if memory serves me correctly.....although that was several generations back and not very common. Could be wrong as I wasn't in the market for an NVMe at that time.

Thanks. I take it that it's not an issue with any recent models then.

Yeah....I don't even think that capability is even mentioned in spec sheets for many boards nowadays. I can't recall when I last saw it. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong boards.

 

[Mawla]

Well, Asrock, for one, is still fond of pointing out this feature.

Older Z97 boards wouldn't let you boot off Nvme drives. Or lets just say, it wasn't easy. Not as easy as it is now.
