[SOLVED] SSD Compatability z170-e

[realbouncybear]

Hey guys, so I have the Asus Z170-E motherboard, I am pretty good with my knowledge of computers and stuff, but I became a little bit confused with the whole m.2 and nvme pcie 3x4 thing, and I wasn't sure if my motherboard supported an m.2 or just the nvme pcie 3x4 thing. So I was considering buying this SSD, could you tell me if its compatible with the z170-e?

From the specs:

Z170-E - Support

www.asus.com

"1 x M.2 x4 Socket 3, with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (both SATA & PCIE mode)*1 "

Yes, a typical M.2 NVMe drive will work.
