- justinclift 7y agoNot seeing a mention of PCIe there on the board?
- gtyras2mrs 7y agoScroll down a bit. M.2 on the backside. Listed under Storage in the specs.
- justinclift 7y agoIsn't M.2 storage specific? eg not a useful PCIe slot for anything other than plugging in an SSD
- hipboi 7y agoM.2 has full four lanes PCIe, you can use M.2 to PCIe x4 adapter and use all the standard PCIe cards.
- justinclift 7y agoThanks, hadn't heard of them before. This looks like the right kind of thing: https://www.newegg.com/p/17Z-00AP-00018?Description=m.2%20adapter%20pcie%20x4&cm_re=m.2_adapter_pcie_x4-_-9SIA4RE5Y04178-_-Product https://www.newegg.com/p/17Z-00AP-00018?Description=m.2%20ad...
- blackflame7000 7y agoM.2 is a connector specification it has nothing to do with speed. M.2 supports applications such as WIFI, USB, SATA, and PCIe. M.2 SSDs are faster and store more data than most mSATA cards. M.2 SSDs support PCIe 3.0, SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0 interfaces, while mSATA only supports SATA. M.2 SATA SSDs have similar performance to mSATA cards, but M.2 PCIe cards are faster. SATA SSDs have a maximum speed of 600 MB per second, while M.2 PCIe cards can hit 4 GB per second. PCIe support also allows M.2 cards to take advantage of the nonvolatile memory express (NVMe) protocol, which brings a large performance advantage over other types of interfaces due to reduced latency, increased IOPS and lower power consumption.
