M.2 Preffered over U.2

[yup]

Believing for except the stacking part, M.2 has an upper hand over U.2.

Which all motherboards have the max # of M.2 and is there a way I can add M.2 SSD on an Asus Z9 PE D8 WS motherboard? Somesort of adaptor in PCIe slots?

[Daniel644]

there are adapter cards that an M.2 drive can slot into then plug into a normal PCIe slot, as for the rest I don't know.

May not be able to boot from it, but *SHOULD* be able to use them as mass storage. (not %100 on that though)

 

I wouldn't bother using it as a mass storage drive though.

 

Just found a link about that specific mobo and NVME drives, didn't bother reading it but ill link it
