Fucken sick

Pretty cool, but don't they take PCI-E lanes away from the graphics card? If they don't than that's wicked sick.

if your motherboard is complete and utter garbage they might.

How do I install this on a mobo from ~2012

You paid a meme price for it.

price?

if you need an installation guide for that you should shoot yourself in the foot and then the knee so you can be just as disabled as your brain

...

Most higher-end motherboards for certain form factors come with dedicated M.2 slots these days

Pic related is a mini-ITX motherboard with a rear M.2 slot.

Any loss in read/write speed using this?

no fucktard

>PCI-E x4 card
>m.2 only takes up 4 lanes

>100°C

>what are fans

shut up tim

>thinking NVME has anything to do with M.2
nigga you dumb as fuck. M.2 is just another Sata connector, so unless you need to save space/Sata ports there is 0 reason to go with the meme

If your mobo is only pcie 2 then you'll be limited to around 2GB/s, which the smaller nvme drives rarely go over, in general operation it'll still be stonkingly theoretically fast. End user experience is not that different.

I got a 950 and it's super fast so I can always lock in hanzo

>M.2 is just another Sata connector

get a load of this fucking retard

it can be tough. m2 can either be sata or nvme. for instance m2 850s are sata, 950s are nvme

Also NVMe can either be M.2 or it be PCIe

He was talking about how M.2 ports are natively on most motherboards, not whatever the fuck you were talking about

This is a thread about M.2 SSDs, not whatever the fuck you were talking about

M.2 cannot be SATA. M.2 is just a connector. It's PCI-E and the drives can either be NVMe or AHCI. No, AHCI is not SATA.

Yes m.2 is a connector, yes it's a connector that can use PCIe, SATA, or usb spec for transfers over the port to the corresponding controller. NVMe and AHCI connect the controller to the rest of the system

Wait for Samsung's Z-SSD lineup.

Whats better. M.2 or straight OG PCI-E ?

>M.2 is just another Sata connector

Umm no, M.2 is directly connected to the PCIE lanes.

Nothing to do with the motherboard but the CPU you tard

You should get the same performance because M.2 is connected to PCIE

M.2 will save you a lot of space and some money from having to buy a separate PCIE card.

It does have to do with the motherboard, because different ones have different numbers of PCIE lanes.

Cheap ones will get bogged down from having too much stuff like high end graphics cards and pcie drives running at the same time.

>M.2 cannot be SATA
You're full of shit
M.2 is an evolution of the mSATA standard, which came into its own after they decided to supplement the SATA standard with the then newborn SATA Express protocol. It was there that they decided to use 2 lanes of PCIe 3.0 to make it SATA Express compliant (which is why all Z97 boards share their M.2 port with the SATA Express port) and someone had the bright idea to double the lanes for more throughput and switch to the NVMe standard over AHCI. M.2 will always have SATA capability.

Does an SSD with roughly 6 microseconds latency even exist?

But we're not talking about this autistic shit you Best Buy guru

We're talking about SSDs with M.2 connectors

Holy shit you're fucking autistic

NVMe means non volatile memory express aka ssd through pcie, it wouldn't be NVMe if it had anything to do with SATA.

You won't be able to boot from that though

they put fans and heatsinks on m2 drives now?

damn they must be hidden

you can have ssd's with m.2 connector that support either NVMe or SATA protocol.

you can have m.2 motherboard connector that supports NVMe, SATA, or both.

there are cutouts on the ssd connector and corresponding keys on the motherboard connector to make sure you don't connect an unsupported combination.

AHCI is not SATA.
