This latest DRAM-free SSD will rely on NVMe standards that allow system RAM caching. Your 2019 motherboard BIOS won’t support these features because such technology didn’t exist then. This likely means the drive won’t work with your current hardware due to outdated firmware.

Bios updates follow a specific process. Once support for a CPU is available, they don't simply remove it. I've also replied to your previous messages, except for those marked as duplicates that weren't deleted. For your specific CPU and motherboard, you can check the compatibility list here: https://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/b450 pro4/index.asp#CPU Your current BIOS version doesn't cover Gen 3.0 Nvmes. Upgrade to the latest version and let us know if it resolves the issue.

So as spookycitrus says, if I update my bios, will it then work?

It should address the issue, though certainty isn't assured. The documentation doesn't mention NVMe support in any BIOS notes, which seems to be the current path. This approach aligns with how BIOS updates have functioned for AM4 boards. With numerous CPUs in the socket, some boards had to remove support for older models to allocate memory for newer ones. I'm not convinced this applies here, but the notes clearly advise against updating past version 3.50 for the OP's CPU.

You're questioning the reasoning behind BIOS updates. It's understandable to wonder why support isn't removed. The storage capacity of the motherboard does play a role, but it's not the only factor. Manufacturers often phase out older CPUs for various reasons, including cost and compatibility. The ability to change generations in BIOS settings suggests the system is designed for flexibility, though practical support may have ended.

Thanks for the thoughts. It seems you're weighing the risks of upgrading versus sticking with your current setup. Considering a cache or NVMe drive might simplify things, but it depends on what you need most.

I haven't encountered that before, right? On the CPU support page it lists compatibility with all BIOS versions, but I missed the alert for 3.50 or higher. Honestly, just get a non-3.0 NVMe drive or use the laptop's internal one in the desktop, and vice versa.

You might purchase a more recent NVMe storage device. A model compliant with the NVMe 1.3 standard would work well for your board. I think version 1.4 introduced the RAM caching capability.

You can also utilize the NVMe drive from your laptop in the desktop setup and the one you purchased for the desktop on your laptop. This way, you avoid risks or purchasing another storage device. The variation in NVMe speeds compared to 3.0 isn't significant once high read and write capabilities are achieved, making daily tasks and gaming less affected.

Older? Well. Here's the one in my laptop since it works in my desktop samsung mzalq512hblu-00bl2 Surely this can't be that much older than the crucial. (I looked, it's 429 days old) (Yes I know I could use this in my desktop and crucial in my laptop, but I don't want to do that)
