Hello, fairly quick and dumb question here, but I need to ask it:
My friend plans to finally get an ssd for his pc. He has a gigabyte GA-z170-HD3P motherboard and is considering buying the Kingston A2000 1tb because it is on a fairly big sale for a few days. The ssd is NVME PCIe Gen 3.0 x 4 Lanes with up to 2,200/2,000MB/s and the motherboard specification states that it supports sata and PCIe x4/x2/x1 ssds, with the m.2 slot supporting up to 32Gb/s. Is this combination perfectly ok, or are there things that could cause an issue down the line? Also, is there a potential need to update the bios? I really don't want to screw him over on this.
Thanks for the help and enjoy the upcoming holidays!
