Hello everyone. I have the 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 (how many x slots are these?)

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 success with using m.2 with this motherboard?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Your PCIe SSD drive may not show in the Storage Configuration screen or Boot Order List, but make sure your Windows Installation Media (Whether USB or Optical Drive) does show in the Boot Order list. You should see UEFI: <Installation Media Device Name> entry in the list. ... You must use the one with the UEFI prefix.

I've got a friend that has Z170M Extreme4 board and his computer crashed yesterday in the middle of work. He had a backup using Veeam and we cant seem to get it to boot into Windows after restoring from backup. It keeps telling us that to Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key.

We went through the UEFI settings several times and tried a few different settings to no avail.

One strange thing is that it is able to boot into Windows if we format and install Windows from scratch. We dont want to do this because we dont want to reload all of his software and settings.

Any ideas? Cheers

Hi
My Z97M-pro4 motherboard has no M2 socket, but with a M2-PCIe adapter board plugged into the PCIE2 socket, can windows 10 boot on it?
If I understand correctly, the SSD will work in PCIe 2.0x4 with a limit of 2GB/s and PCIE1 with the graphics card will remain in 16x?
Many thanks

I can't get my computer to boot from PCI M.2 SSD:

OS:            Windows 10
Mainboard:     AsRock H67M-GE
UEFI Version: P2.10
SSD:           Corsair Force Series MP510 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSD (240GB)
Adapter:       PCIE to M.2 Adapter (EZDIY-FAB M2 20190424)

The M.2 SSD is mounted on the adapter and the adapter is in the PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot.
Running Windows 10 Installation CD, it identifies the M.2 SSD and I'm able to install windows on it. The Bios though does not recognize the M.2 SSD as a boot device. In fact it does not recongnize it at all. When I boot from the standard HDD, Windows recognizes the M.2 SSD and I can use it as a hard drive.
The sequential read/write speed is about 1500MB/s / 1000MB/s so just 50% slower than its max speed.

Uploaded the latest BIOS version (from 2012 !?) and tried all relevant settings. Nothing works.
The CSM (Compatibility Support Module.) option/button -as mentioned above- is not in the UEFI setup utility.

Am I missing something or is this board simply not capable of booting from a PCI M.2 SSD?
If so, why can Windows use it as a hard drive?

Thanks in advance for inputs.
