Hi there, my motherboard does not have any m.2 slot but for future value, I would like to buy an NVMe SSD. But first, I need to make sure about two things which are also my questions.
1. My motherboard has PCI-e 3.0 x16 slot for graphic cards but I could not find anything specific about the PCI-e versions of x1 slots. Should I assume they are also version 3? Because to my knowledge, the version greatly affects the speed of SSD and in the case of a V 1, I will have lower speeds than SATA SSD but higher if it is v 3.
2. People talk about the problem of motherboards not recognizing SSD when they are slotted into PCI-e. So looking at my hardware can I know certain that it will compatible?
So basically it is about the compatibility and the potential speed I would get. Here are hardware information;
SSD: SanDisk 1 TB Ultra 3D SDSSDH3N
Motherboard: Asus Prime H310M-K
M.2 SSD to PCI-e x1 Converter: Something like this one
