SSD, motherboard, connector

[eitvydasz1]

I just wanted to ask if this SSD:
(Samsung SSD 960 EVO NVMe M.2 250GB 3200/1500MB/s, V-nand) will fit my motherboard which is (Asus B85M-G) ?

No. there is not any M2 slot on your MB.

 

[Scottray]

Absolutely will NOT work. There's no M.2 socket on that mobo. You could certainly use a 2.5 inch SSD and connect it to one of the 6Gb/s SATA ports.

 

[Snipergod87]

No, you would have to get an adapter card and you still would not be able to boot from it.

 

[eitvydasz1]

Thanks for the answers,so maybe some of you can recommend me any SSD's that will work with this motherboard?I'm looking for ones with 250/256/240GB

 

[BadAsAl]

The short answer is no. Your motherboard does not have the M.2 slot to accommodate that drive. You could mess around with adapters and such to make it work but a 2.5" SATA SSD would be almost as good for a lot less money and hassle.

WD Blue 3D Name 250GB is a good one

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB is the best one in my opinion. You have SATA III ports which you would use for attaching the SSD so you should get the best speed out of it.

I know its not in English but are you talking about this SSD? http://www.skytech.lt/mz76e250beu-samsung-ssd-860-evo-250gb-sata-p-380309.html#tabsnav-1

Click on "Specifikacija" , there are some specifications in English

 

[cin19]

Yes.

By the way, how do I know if my power supply's connector will fit too?

 

[Snipergod87]

Anything decent made since 2004 will have a compatible connector

My pc was built in like 2014 , and power supply is called Logic 600, so I think I'll be fine

Thank you everyone for helping me.

 

[eitvydasz1]

Oh, and I just looked up that my other SATA cable is called HDD SATA 3 / SATA-SATA. Will it work with new SSD or I need to get another one?

 

[cin19]

Any SATA cable should work with any SATA SSD or HDD.

 

[eitvydasz1]

Any SATA cable should work with any SATA SSD or HDD.

Will it change write/read speed or it will work just fine?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from eitvydasz1 : "Cable for an SSD?"

I've ordered Samsung SSD 860 Evo 250GB SATA and noticed that I don't have any SATA cables to connect this SSD to the motherboard. I was wondering if this cable would fit my new ssd https://www.google.lt/search?rlz=1C1AVNG_enLT704LT704&biw=1920&bih=974&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=Y4-xWvvfIovm6ATb6IPADA&q=4world+HDD+SATA+3+SATA+SATA&oq=4world+HDD+SATA+3+SATA+SATA&gs_l=psy-ab.4...10613.12186.0.12241.10.9.0.0.0.0.188.941.3j5.8.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..2.0.0....0.1YjVKVwMNGE#imgrc=Qe_YqtRx9da54M:

But it says its HDD, does that change anything , write/read speed? or it wont work at all?
If it wont work, please show me which cable do I need.

You'll be fine. A SATA III SSD takes the same cable as a SATA III HDD. SATA SSDs and HDDs hookup to the motherboard in the exact same fashion.

One more thing I'd like to ask , is there an easy way to transfer OS from HDD to SSD, or it requires some experience with that, I literally have never done something like this.

 

[azaran]

If the size of information on the HDD is less than the size of SSD, then you shouldn't have a problem. The Samsung SSD's come with migration software that makes it extremely easy.

I'd look up some youtube videos of how people are physically doing it so you can see how it's done before unpluging/plugging anything.

 

[cin19]

Download and install the migration software http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/ connect the SSD, run the software, follow step by step. Or watch the youtube for how to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_Mu5TuXgXo
