Hi all !!
I came across nice deals for SSD and NVME and I really want to add more speed to my old setup. So, I found SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 500GB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4. now my old system (built in 2014) has the system details as copied from Speccy and mentioned in the bottom of this topic.
I was reviewing my motherboard (Asus H97-PRO) specs as mentioned in the : https://www.asus.com/in/Motherboards/H97PRO/specifications/
the storage section mentions :
now this M2 socket seems to be compatible with SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 500GB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 V-NAND 3-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V7S500B/AM
but Im not sure, I saw modern motherboards has special bank to install the NVME but my motherboard doesnt have one ... kinda made me suspecious about it ...
