MSI Z97 Gaming 5 TO Corsair Force Series MP510 960GB M.2 SSD

[VeinBe]

So the MP510 960GB M.2 SSD is on sale

I own a MSI Z97 GAMING 5

 

+(ADAPTER)+

Now to achieve the best speed, what adapter would work? (please a link)

Also, is it worth it for gaming? 10GB/s vs 20GB/s?

Do you already have an M.2 SSD in the slot on the motherboard? If not just use the M.2 slot on the motherboard if you do you will need an NVME to PCIE adapter I've used this one before with a few NVME drives and had no issues. It however does not work with Sata M.2 drives.

The M.2 Slot specs:

1x 2280 Key M(PCIe Gen2 x2/SATA)

 

Would that work with the link you gave?

Haven't really read up on SATA, PCIE 2 and 3.

I used my Corsair force mp500 in my Asus Z97-AR with no adapter, you shouldn't face any issues

The M.2 Slot on your motherboard is where you want to put the drive. You only need an adapter if you don't have a slot. It should just work with no issues.
