Hello everyone, I own an Asus STRIX X299-XE gaming board with an i7 7820x processor. I noticed there are two M.2 slots available: 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110. This is my first time using an M2 SSD, so I’m curious about compatibility. I’ve only used SATA SSDs before, and I’m hoping to get a 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus M2. I want to be sure it will work with my board, because I’m not sure and don’t want any surprises. The seller didn’t explain clearly if this model is compatible. Could you confirm for me?
Ensure compatibility by reviewing the manual for potential PCIe lane sharing with existing or future PCIe connections. Be aware that a port currently in use might affect functionality. Additionally, verify BIOS support for booting from this device.
All M.2 slots accommodate NVMe drives, and Intel processors work with NVMe booting from Z170 onwards. Irrelevant. The majority of available drives on the market are 2280 form factors—22mm wide by 80mm long. Either port fits them, meaning any standard SSD should fit.
in win 10 it works perfectly. If I try to install win 11 , all program have LAG and there is a delay until opening the programs like approx. 1 second, I don't understand why. I'm staying on win 10 that's it... I don t understand why i encounter such things on win 11..One more thing. The position of the M2 ssd is somehow under the rtx 2080ti video card, which is not ok If I leave the video card by default, with fan idle stop, the m2 goes to 50 degrees I installed MSi Afterburner immediately and set fan curve to 60%-90%, and now the ssd stay around at 34-38 degrees. Now it's summer and it's hot, at winter it will be fine... I think .Otherwise, I tested the speeds and they are ok, right?
