Mainboard Mit M2 Slot
I thought that the m2 would make more sense if I decide to upgrade my PC later where the motherboard will likely have a M2 slot. At first I thought that I could get a PCI Express adapter and still. ASUS H110M-E/M.2 is a micro-ATX (mATX) motherboard featuring the Intel® H110 chipset, and packed with advanced 5X Protection II, LED-illuminated audio shielding UEFI BIOS with EZ Flash 3 and M.2.
Motherboard Mit 2 M2 Slots
I just finished building my first gaming pc and it ran perfectly for the first week. Yesterday after work I got home and turned it on and it would not boot into windows and only boot to bios (MSI B450M Pro-VDH motherboard). After checking the bios menu it showed that my new Crucial MX500 M.2 SSD was not connected. I shut it down, removed graphics card (as the M.2 slot is just behind it) and unscrewed it and pulled it out, then replaced everything and powered it back on ( I tried this twice). Nothing still, just booted into bios and showing as nothing connected. This is weird because, just the night before I had been running the machine and playing games and now today (yesterday) would not boot? I fully powered it down the night before as I normally would any computer.
My question is this. How do I know if it's my M.2 SSD that's bad, or if it's the M.2 slot on the motherboard that is bad? Also, How would I go about erasing the data on the M.2 before returning for a refund/exchange if it's bad?
Thanks in advanced, and new member by the way
Mainboard Mit M2 Slot Machine
Hi guys, Got myself a MSI B450M Mortar motherboard and it has 2 M.2 slots. M21 supported by the CPU (in use) M22 supported by the B450 chipset (empty) The motherboard lists this as: Does this mean I cannot use a SATA M.2 in M22? How come the B450 chipset doesnt support the SATA. If you need the best possible performance in the smallest possible package, then the Gigabyte X570 I AORUS Pro WiFi is the best option for you. In addition to all the wireless benefits in a small PC build we mentioned for the previous entry (moreso, actually, since the wireless tech in this motherboard is much faster than our #2 pick), you also have the benefit of the X570 chipset. M21 Slot is for the the M.2 (Key E, 2230/1630) slot is for the WLAN/Bluetooth module. M22 Slot is for the M.2 (NGFF) (Key M, 2280/2242) slot is for SATA SSD or PCIE SSD and Intel Optane memory.
