SSD Drives On Steroids Finally Hitting the Mainstream

<< < (2/4) > >>

Maxvla:
Can't ignore this sort of performance. Looks like a natural fit in my upgrade plans.

kapanak:
If only it came in 2260 or 2240 format. Asus, in their hindsight, didn't realize people might wanna put 2280 and larger M.2 in the Asus Maximus VII Formula ... although the recent iteration of the Maximus VIII series does address this issue and fits as large as 22110 format M.2 sticks.

Luckbad:
Can't you just use your PCIe slot?

smitty1110:
Yes, in theory, but that puts all the stress on the M.2 PCB near the PCI-e connector. The M.2 slots on mobos tend to have some mounting option, so that there's less of a chance of breaking your hardware.

kapanak:
I wonder if there are any PCI-e adapters that will allow a less strained mounting option if the mobo has too small of a M.2 mount length or none at all. Time to research.

Edit: Just checked. There are many. Just wish it came in a less green PCB lol ...
