Hello!

My planned build: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/YqmWYJ

I've some question on m.2 SSD's! Please help me!

1. Can a m.2 SSD boot in the same way as an normal SATA SSD?

2. Do the m.2 slots on an MSI z170a Gaming Pro use PCIe 3.0 ? Or do i need an adapter to use plug it onto a normal x16 slot?

 

Yours pluppy!

M.2 use Sata Connections and M.2 and PCIe SSD's are two different things.
if the board has M.2 slots, they will be on the board.
