SATA Express Cable?

[underwoodlucky]

Hi! My ASUS Board Z 97-A Supports the SATA Express & read that its a failure do not even bother.

I looked at one cable & not even sure that would even work. I am just making sure by other opinions just do not even bother just use the regular SATA?

SATA Express and SATA are not interchangeable. SATA Express is a PCIe interface. While it does provide connectors that are backwards compatible with SATA III, the hard drive will need to have the compatible SATA Express interface. However, because it has fallen out of favor, these drives are hard to come by.

It is quite clear that NVMe, PCIe and SATA via the M.2 connector is the popular choice.
