Hello, firstly sorry this bump this post up.

I have the same motherboard - H87 Pro4 and wish to upgrade my storage to m.2 nvme SSD. So before I take the plunge, here are my few question.

1. Can this motherboard support the m.2 nvme drive as a boot drive with the BETA Bios 2.40?

2. Seeing that in Asrock's official website, the H87 specs as
- 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot (PCIE2: x16 mode)
- 3 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots
- 2 x PCI slots

My graphic card is currently occupying the PCIE 3.0 slot, so if I were to buy a PCIE - M.2 NVME adapter, which slot will it be going to? As majority of the adapter list as only support PCI E X16, X8 and X4.

Here are a few adapter that I have shortlisted:
1. https://www.lazada.com.my/ugreen-pcie-to-m2-adapter-nvme-m2-pci-express-adapter-32gbps-pci-e-card-x4816-mb-key-ssd-computer-expansion-cards-i1259202191-s3778654999.html
2. https://www.lazada.com.my/ampcom-m2-nvme-to-pci-express-30-x4-adapter-card-32gbps-ssd-adapter-support-2280-2260-2242-2230-converter-to-desktop-pci-express-compatible-with-pci-e-x4-x8-x16-i1085064381-s3002540382.html

Would any of this work?

Has anyone had sucess with using m.2 with this mother board?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

How can i install NVMe M.2 on H87 Pro4 ?
It's possible ?
I search it about UEFI/BIOS of H87 Pro4 , but i didn't see it any support for NVMe .

I need to install it in PCIe 3.0 16x , Graphics Adapter slot ?

I need an PCIe to M.2 adapter ?

I wish to install Samsung SSD 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2 to Asrock H87 Pro4

How can i do it ?

thank you
