Hello ! I am in the process of building a PC and currently looking at B450 / x470 motherboards for a 3rd gen Ryzen CPU - I find it really hard to tell if you can actually boot from an m.2 drive or not. On newegg some specs explicitly mention it, the ASRock X470 Master for example states 'Supports NVMe SSD as boot disks', but others like the MSI PERFORMANCE X470 GAMING PLUS don't and even digging through the manual they don't explicitely confirm or deny it. Threads about this topic are pretty scarce.
Is it a standard feature on recent Motherboards ? Else is their a comprehensive list somewhere of which motherboard supports booting from an m.2 drive ? More specifically my build will have a single 1TB M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 drive. I already have a server in another room so I don't need storage but I want to make sure I can actually boot from that drive !
Thanks !
