Hi
I want to upgrade my primary drive in this older pc to an M2 but am unsure of compatibility.
Currently have SSD's in the SATA ports but there is an M2 slot on the motherboard that is unused and I want to try and install my primary OS onto an M2 there. Dual boot with windows and linux.
I intend to use the existing SSD's as slave drives via the SATA connections they currently use.
From the manual under internal connections it states "1 x M.2 socket 3 (for M Key, type 2260/2280 devices)"
Do i need to use a particular generation or are they all backwards compatible? Any other problems I need to be aware of?
Here is the manual https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/H97M-E/E9092_H97M-E.pdf?model=H97M-E
This is what I am looking at or similar https://www.overclockers.co.uk/seag...m.2-solid-state-drive-zp1000gm-hd-3dv-se.html
Appreciate any advice
