The two motherboards I'm looking at both don't have the SSD I own on their storage support lists. One of them(a Z170 ITX Asrock mobo) only lists 17 total SSDs(7 OCZ, 7 Kingston, 1 intel, 2 Plextor) and 6 PCIe SSDs. Does that really mean my drive is useless and I have to pick one of those 17 drives? It doesn't even list any supported M.2 drives when it has an Ultra M.2 slot.
The memory I have is also not on the RAM support list of the Asrock board but is on the support list of the other board I'm looking at, an Z170 ITX Gigabyte mobo). Also the Gigabyte's support lists for storage and RAM are much larger than the Asrock's lists which, unfortunately, leads me to believe those components on the list are the only ones supported.
Im not familiar at all with drivers, BIOS, UEFI etc. so Im really hoping that this is the issue and that I just need to get a driver or something and my SSD and RAM will be compatible with either board. My SSD is a Sandisk Ultra ii 960GB, my RAM 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance lpx DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz.
