Hello, I'm trying to upgrade my 2.5 SSD to a M.2 form factor and plan to use the Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2. I'm a bit confused because my motherboard list only shows support for the 970 Evo, not the Plus version. Do they really have different connections? I have an MSI Z370 Tomahawk.
Yes, you're supported for 2 m.2 NVMe SSDs as mentioned before. Evo Plus works just fine, same connection setup. A tip: place the SSD directly below the CPU socket. The PCIe lanes link straight to the CPU, bypassing the chipset.
