SATA is SATA...it might not run at full speed, but should work.

It will run at full speed. Z87 might be old by today's standards but not old enough to not use SATA 3 haha.

All SATA devices are seen as "hard drives" on a motherboard, at least old boards. You can use any SATA SSD on any motherboard that uses SATA hard drives.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
