Are there issues with booting from PCIe slots? I assume if there are, they'll get sorted out quickly as drives like this become more popular.

- wtallis 12y agoUnless your system has very buggy firmware, any PCIe lane is as good as any other, even if it's behind a switch. The real difference here that limits compatibility is that the controller uses the NVMe host controller interface and command set, instead of the AHCI standard used by SATA controllers and previous PCIe-based SSDs. Software (firmware or OS) that doesn't have a NVMe driver won't even recognize this drive as being a storage device.
