Corsair FORCE MP510 1920GB NVME PCIE M.2 SSD Compatability

Hi All!

I've been rummaging about for information on using this SSD on an Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Mobo. Manual useless. Various helplines on company sites supply very non-committed responses, like "it SHOULD be okay, but check your manual". Any helpful responses please?

Checking the spec sheets, it looks like there's a match: https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/Z170-PRO-GAMING/specifications/ go down to the storage section, you see:

1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (both SATA & PCIE mode)*1

Also, look at the product image on https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/Z170-PRO-GAMING/overview/ and you will see labelled "12" the NVMe slot.

And on the Corsair Force product page (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...-state-drive-cssd-f1920gbmp510-hd-066-cs.html) you see:

All that performance is contained in a compact M.2 2280 form factor and connects using a high-speed NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 interface, making it easy to install into a compatible motherboard or laptop.

Thanks Giles! I agree with everything you have noted. I was looking for a bit of reassurance before committing £250 to the purchase of this SSD. I appreciate your time in helping me. Thanks again!
