I'm gonna trust PCpp on this one. There's no reason an athlon CPU wouldn't work with NVMe.

I thought it's gonna have reduced bandwith since x2 instead of x4... but someone else said it won't work at all

 

 

- 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Summit Ridge, Raven Ridge and Pinnacle Ridge) or Gen3 x2 (16 Gb/s) (with Athlon 2xxGE series APU)

It will work. You just need to have a mobo with a nvme slot. 

 

Or at least there is not reason it wouldnt

Should be fine, although if you're taking the athlon route to save money it makes sense to use an M.2 SATA SSD instead of NVMe and then not have to worry about it at all. What's the intended use case for this SSD?

[gort]

pure theory atm, I saw someone asked would such config work... I thought it will work with reduced bandwith, someone else said I'm wrong though, won't work...

Just got a 200GE as a placeholder for hopefully upgrading to Ryzen 3 later this year, if its worth moving up from the 2600 on my main rig. Took a bios update to get the NVME to work, but its there and going. Early BIOS versions 1.0 and 1.1 didn't detect the NVME at all, but had unlocked ram speed with the 200GE. Versions 1.2 and current 1.3 picked it up fine, but capped the ram at 2666.

Team 3000 2x4Gb

Intel 600P 256Gb

I user the UserBenchmark test as a general baseline and it tested about average on speeds,

Probably depends on board and Bios tho
