[SOLVED] Will the 250GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 work with my motherboard?

Hey,

As the title says I'm wondering if my ASUS H110M-A/M.2 motherboard supports the 250GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 ? I currently don't have any other SSD on my PC (only a 1TB Seagate Barracuda) so is it worth the upgrade?

Can you explain to me why?

Your low-end H110 Chipset motherboard offers only x4 PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth for M.2 supports up to 20 Gbit/s data-transfer speeds. That is short of the x4 PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth for M.2 supports up to 32 Gbit/s data-transfer speeds that M.2 drive offers.
