You can get an adapter that cost about $50 then you can use a nvme drive in an x4 slot. I don't know how many pcie lanes your mobo has or how many are already in use. You might be alright though.

Puffwagon Puff Gold Donating Members 15,920 Member For: 9y 10m Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 15/03/18 11:20 AM Share Posted 15/03/18 11:20 AM That's the one or at least one brand/size. You should be sweet by the look of that mobo but it's worth noting that you can't fill up every slot and run everything at the same time or at full speed. Your cpu will be using a fair bit of bandwidth being a 6 core and combined with your gpu at 16x there won't be a lot left but you'd need to look it up. This link talks about it in depth and you can find the info for your parts online. http://www.tested.com/tech/457440-theoretical-vs-actual-bandwidth-pci-express-and-thunderbolt/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you'll have options in your bios for setting up your slots to various configurations and speeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you could probably just put a nvme drive into an adaptor, it would run it wouldn't run at full speed unless set up properly. You're going to have to do some research and work it out mate. Here's a link to get you started. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/716439-nvme-m2-drives-on-x79/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
