The Asus motherboard can install an NVMe SSD, though it will run at PCIe 3.0 X 4 and not NVMe speed.

You can consider the WD Blue at $121

There are several Gigabyte B360 Aorus boards so not sure which one you are referring to. However, answer should be same as above.

what?
nvme is based on pcie spec, m key (proper nvme) is pcie x4. never heard of this "nvme speed" before.

i would recommend samsung 970 series or wd black sn750 (not 750 se or 770), see whichever is cheaper on amazon sg.

NVMe - transfer protocol
PCIe - bus speed

I read finish raven n koenig posts i laggi confused now lol

Sls can buy?
Shopee listings like majority from sls

Go for Samsung 980 pro , you will thank to me later

NVMe - transfer protocol
PCIe - bus speed

if anything, the interface for nvme is generally through pcie, so the "speed of nvme" will be limited by the pcie spec and lanes.

can ah, but will generally be quite expensive.

 

[Vanyel]

Amazon cheaper than shopee??
Generally my experience was almost amazon more expensive

usually from amazon sg the cheaper prices are for export set, while those from sls u are paying local distro markup for local warranty.

this one can?

 

[Goodshot]

I only trust Samsung

 

[KYZT2021]

Can consider WD SN750 black

NVMe is storage interface. PCIe Gen X is how the data travel.

I always thought the most straightforward solution was to see if the motherboard supported m.2. If it does then you can get any m.2 NVMe SSD and stick it in

Stated earlier.

You can think of PCIe as the electronic connection between the MB and the SSD, NVMe as how the signals happen across that connection.

A typical NVMe SSD will connect via PCIe and transfer data using the NVMe protocol i.e. both PCIe and NVMe come into play.

If the MB supports M.2 PCIe but not NVMe, then the data is transferred using PCIe but without the benefits of the NVMe protocol. For example, your MSI Z97 Gaming 9 has an M.2 PCIe 2.0 interface. This means that you can use a PCIe or NVMe SSD on that M.2 slot but data is transferred only using PCIe 2.0 interface but without NVMe.

FYI for games you don't need NVME, I already suggest few items you can consider.

1) SSD for OS 250GB
https://www.challenger.sg/biz-solut...sd/samsung-970-evo-plus-250gb0--88016436280792) Game on HDD 2TB.
https://www.pcthemes.com.sg/internal-hard-disk-hdd/seagate-barracuda-2tb-3-5-7200rpm-hard-disk
Hard disk will be more cost effective than SSD, not to mention for SSD you cannot use up
all it's disk space else it will degrade which will affect it's performance.
Modern hard disk are fast and there are no games that require NVME.

Unless it is PS5 than different story cuz games are designed to tap on it's NVME SSD
for fast loading.

I went to google. 300 series is the last generation that come with PCIE M2. 400 series and up all using NVMe.

Seriously if you need to ask this means you don't need this in your system. Unless just for the sake of having it.

rather spend the extra $10 or so and get the 1tb samsung 970 evo plus.
