QVL for SSD NVMe?

[FREDBEDHEAD]

Just saw that the 4tb ssd nvme drive I bought for my new build isn't on my motherboard's storage qvl, 2tb ver. is but not 4tb. What problems will this cause and why does such a list even exist? How can storage drive not work with a motherboard? I've never heard of such a thing.

The list exists so you have a reference of what parts are tested and confirmed to work by the motherboard manufacturer, if you go away from the list they could easily say they aren't prepared to help if you approach them for support.

I wouldn't worry about it for a 4tb vs 2tb and I've only ever used QVL for RAM personally (and not always bothered).
