[SOLVED] What gen pcie x4 of m.2 ssd the Colorful BATTLE AXE C.B360M-HD PRO V20 motherboard supports?

[Muhammad Jahid]

I read the spec of this motherboard. It says it supports PCI-e x4 channel M.2 SSD.

But my question:

Does it support, pcie 2.0 x4 or pcie 3.0 x4 ?
or both?

plz clarify it.

it will be pcie 3.0 x4.

it will of course be backward compatible with a 2.0 drive but the slot itself supports a 3.0 card.

How can you be so sure that it will be pcie 3.0 x4?
The motherboard said nothing about generation(said only pcie x4)...
Is there any logic behind this.

On B360 chipset all PCIE slots are PCIE 3.0.
So M.2 slot (supporting PCIE mode) will be PCIE 3.0 too.

Thanx. I appreciate it...

thanks for answering. that's what i was gonna say

they are not going to put pcie 3.0 onto the board for everything and then put an extra 2.0 controller there just for an m.2 slot. it doesn't work that way.
