Hi guys, not too good with computer so just want to check if my desktop can support another ssd before I buy.

My motherboard is Asrock AB350M Pro 4 and currently I have a SanDisk ssd plus 120gb attached to it. Want to add a Samsung evo 860 to store more games but not too sure if my computer can support the additional input. Please helpppp. Going to do it myself instead as prices on qoo much cheaper than local.

The motherboard has 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors

So added another SSD shouldn't be an issue.

You to go for SATA version right? You board also support the M.2 interface - 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module

That's a good price for 860 evo.

You need to partition and format using Window's Disk Manager or download the Samsung Magician software.

Just remember to get an additional sata cable if you don't have one. Don't be like my friend, buy SSD but no cable.

Hello all, once again I have another motherboard which needs an extra internal SSD. Not the best at this so would appreciate some help.

ASRock B250M Performance - Want to check if it can plug in more SSD, and is it the 6 SATA3 that determines how many SSD it can fit?

From the website: 6 SATA3, 2 Ultra M.2 (One supports PCIe Gen3 x4 & SATA3, the other one supports PCIe Gen3 x4 only)

6 SATA drive is supported on the motherboard

But if your system installed a M.2 drive than it will be 5 SATA + 1 M.2 drive


• 6 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors, support NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug*
* If M2_1 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_5 will be disabled
