Bottlenecked SSD?

[Grovers1]

Would a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3 Motherboard bottleneck the intel 600p 256gb SSD?

Thanks

no

It shouldn't be an issue. The SSD uses the M.2 format so speed should be better than a SATA drive. Heat or the drive not being fast enough will probably be what becomes the bottleneck, although an M.2 SSD generally isn't very slow.

ok thanks,

when looking at motherboards what do i need to be checking to see that?

SATA 3, which should come on all motherboards on the intel side

Only if you're running the first gen i3/5/7 cpu's that doesn't support it. That only has sata 2 support. Sandy bridge and higher have sata 3 support.

M.2 can be SATA or PCIe. In this case the SSD is PCIe-based with the M.2 form factor.

Your drive is using PCIe and I would check your manual to check if booting would be possible if that's your intent.

600p's bottleneck is the 600p - I would not buy it

if you actually want speed, get a Samsung NVMe one

If you mean the 950 ones, i cant afford it...

I got this error when adding the 600p m.2 to pcpartpicker, could somone explain this?

• The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with a SATA Express port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA Express port is disabled.

if you can't afford it why are you pushing to get a NVMe drive?

for the end user it doesn't do anything special compared to a SATA III one - for ~15$ more you can get a 480GB SAMSUNG 850 EVO

it's not an error, it's a warning - and it does exactly as it sais

when using a m.2 PCIe drive, a SATA Express port will be disabled

PCIe isnt worth extra speed then?

are you doing anything special with it!?

if no, waste of money

It means that one of your SATA ports will be disabled. SATA Express uses multiple SATA ports for extra speed.
