M.2 question

Aeleane · 4 Jun 2021 at 14:36

I'm looking to put an M.2 in one of our
Computers. It's mobo is an Asus h170 pro with a slot that states 32gb/s x4

Will the Samsung evo plus at 3500 megabytes per secind work and just be limited to 32gb/s or will I need to find one that has a speed of 32 or less?

First time using an NVMe drive
Thanks for any help/advice

3500 megabytes per second is ~3.5 Gb/s, so you will be fine

Even though the mobo states 32gb/s?
