Is the SSD compatible with my motherboard?
I don't know if my mainboard asus prime b450m-a has the required slots or similar for the following SSD Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD (MZ-V8P1T0BW), 1 TB.
Here is the link to the SSD: https://amzn.eu/d/aLArtBu
Thank you in advance for your quick help. I really appreciate it when people take the time to answer my sometimes "stupid" questions.
yes your board has n m2
Thank you very much
You can just compare the places to the SSD. That should be enough.
Hello,
the motherboard has a matching M2 slot. However, this is connected with PCIe 3.0 and the SSD can PCIe 4.0. This is compatible with each other, but the SSD does not run at maximum speed.

Hi.
so your motherboard has the following connection for a so-called M.2 SSD, according to manufacturer specifications:

The Samsung SSD you want to install has the following form factor:
https://www.samsung.com/at/memory-storage/nvme-ssd/980-pro-pcle-4-0-nvme-m-2-ssd-1tb-mz-v8p1t0bw/
So this generally fits together. You won’t get the full power because your motherboard doesn’t support PCIe 4.0 of the SSD.
It doesn’t matter, the SSD is down-compatible, but I thought you might want to know anyway.
Yeah, that’s right. According to product description, the motherboard has a m.2 slot.
