Compatibility with Samsung EVO NVMe M.2 SSD

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello all,

Are the NVMe M2's compatible with my Z77 board and also would I need any adapters (or anything else) to connect it?

My PC Specs:
AsRock Z77 Overclock Formula
I7 3770k @ 4.5GHz  
16GB RAM G.Skill Ripjaws X
Win 10 Pro x 64 

Seeing how cheap SSD's are, I was looking to get this EVO:

	This is not possible, because Z77 OC Formula has no M.2 socket onboard. You need adapter from PCIe to M.2, something like this: - ASRock Ultra Quad M.2 Card - Smartbuy DT-120 But remember to look on version of PCIe bus of adapter, this should be at least PCIe 3.0 x4 or greater.
