Can I install an M.2 SSD here?
Hey,
Unfortunately, I'm not that knowledgeable about PCs, but I'd like to expand my storage and install an M.2 SSD. Since I've never done anything like this before and I'm not really familiar with all the slots, I wanted to ask if I can even install this SSD on my motherboard ( https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/500GB-Samsung-SSD-980-M-2-PCIe-3-0-x4-3D-NAND-TLC–MZ-V8V500BW-_1401240.html ) and whether it can be installed in the slot shown in the pictures.
Thanks for any help!
If it’s an M.2 port, but it looks like it.
Similar are also plug sets for WLAN modules.
LG and beautiful Easter Monday!
Hi.
I’d say that out of my hip, yes that’s a NVMe slot.
You can just look at your motherboard manual. that is the safest way.
If you don’t know what you have for a motherboard, look at it. Or laugh https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html and let it read.
Have fun with the new hardware.
Greeting and Merry Easter
Yeah, I can. Maybe you can write in the connection generation. The link to the motherboard would also be enough.
The CPU-Z is the A320M PRO-M2 V2 (MS-7B84)
I’m going from this motherboard:

And Ps do the thing clean your CPU cooler is completely dusted
I do, this is the first time I screwed him up. And the SSD I sent in would fit, right?
Yes the paste 🙂
