Hey guys!

 

                  I was just wondering, is it possible for an ancient motherboard to read an SSD? (For the word "ancient" - I mean a mobo that was released long before the SSD).                That's all           Thnx..^^

What kind of mobo is it? How old is it? If it has SATA slots, any SATA drive should work.

As long as it has sata or mSAS (depending on which ssd), you will be fine...

 

but it will be slower than a cow chewing on grass.

Any SATA capable board should work with an SSD. That being said even an IDE only board can use one with a SATA to IDE converter. Not that I would recommend that at all, it's pretty pointless.

 

What motherboard are you using? Be nice to determine how "ancient" it is. Also please follow your posts.

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.

Thanks everyone for your replies but scratch everything. I've decided to get a new Mobo cuz the CPU socket is obsolete  - FM1.

  Oh, for everyone askin' what Mobo I currently have, it's a crappy ASUS F1A55 m lk r2.0.

FM1 actually still pretty recent for a platform

 

I know there's a lot of issue with SSD when it got paired with AM2/+ and LGA 775 platform back when these line up was still new.

most of time it require firmware updates and got fixed.

 

I never read any compability issue for at least couple years now (or probably because no one actually bought SSD for older platform *again*)

Oh? ...I believe FM1's top tier cpus are today's crap.

I've put SSD's in Dualcore Sata1 machines and while not substantially faster in loading, the instant response time is really nice for older low-memory systems.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
