The perfect place to ask this burning question. First let me explain why i am asking, i have a ASUS Maximus X Hero Z370 which has 2 slots integrated on the MB for a M.2 SSD 1 slot is both SATA and PCIe NVME compatible, the other slot is only for PCIe NVME.
My first slot the one that goes both ways has a M.2 SATA3. My second slot has a "Corsair Force MP300 M.2 2280 960GB PCI-Express 3.0 x2, NVME 1.3 3D TLC" Now when i bought this i only read "M.2 PCIe NVME" and i thought my set up is complete. Here is the question, look at the interface of the claimed PCIe NVME from Corsair, it clearly looks exactly like a SATA3, which as i mention wont work in my 2nd slot.
Is this a TypeO? Newegg says no. I noticed it says x2 and not x4 (only means half the speed is available) like the others with the common PCIe NVME interfaces. Did i stumble on a new breed of NVME? Will it work in my 2nd slot? I don't know yet because i'm still under construction. I would like to know in advance what is going on in case i have to ship it back.
