Looking for an M.2 storage device. Doesnt need to be much space, 60,64,120GB would do fine. 4.2cm/6cm/10cm size only.

The motherboard I have DOES NOT support Intel RST with legacy ROM (whatever that means). But im open for thoughts. This is just for my OS and I have 2 other 1TB internal drives for storage.

Yes it would. The last two numbers of the 4 digits 22XX means the length in mm. so 80 mm or 8 cm so it will fit in.

Thank you so much :) I found the 500+ read write which would be good for an OS. Only the OS will go on it, including drivers for the computer. other than that, Games will go on a different drive
