Dell Mobo compatible with Toshiba M.2 slot
Dell Mobo compatible with Toshiba M.2 slot
Hello everyone, I've been looking for a solution but haven't found anything. I own a Dell precision motherboard 3620 along with some NVMe drives. When trying to install them, they didn't appear in BIOS or Device Manager. I'm unsure what's going wrong. I've checked the drivers and think they might not be compatible. The M.2 drive is a Toshiba NVMe model THNSN51T02DU7. From what I found, the motherboard should support it. Is there any way for the OEM to disable its use? I'm not sure what else I can try at this stage. My system already has two SSDs running—an i7-6700 and a 3060—plus 32GB of DDR4 RAM. Not sure if that helps. I also saw an HP NVMe card that fits a PCIe slot, like a graphics card, but it didn't work either.
I might be misunderstood, but M.2 isn't the same as NVME. It could be a SATA M.2 port, though I'm not certain about your setup. I don’t have enough details to confirm. Someone else might have more info to share!
That's what I thought, but my search results indicated NVMe is both forward and backward compatible. I'm not sure.
I searched for the motherboard "Dell Precision Motherboard 3620" and reviewed the image I received. It was taken from the provided website link. Could you confirm if this matches the board you own, or is there a possibility of an incorrect model?
I've been looking at that page for a while, trying to solve this issue
M.2 and NVMe are different technologies. M.2 refers to the physical storage module size, whereas NVMe is the protocol used to link it to the system.
