Posted September 27, 2020 Yes, but it may not reach full speed. Asus advertises 2x PCIe 2.0 rather than the full 4x 3.0 for that drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your response speed/performance wise would it be worse than sata ssd for this mobo? can I install the windows on it, would booting from it be straight forward? and can it be hurt by being used on this mobo before going onto the one im gonna buy later?
