Motherboard to let this NVMe max out its speed?

KCmetro

SSD:

Intel 600p Series 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive

 

Current motherboard:

Asus Z170-PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

 

List:

I'm looking for a motherboard, hopefully not too much more expensive, that will work with that SSD and with the rest of the list, but without the SSD capping out at 4GB/s PCIe and, instead capping out at 32GB/s NVMe.

 

If it's possible, and costs too much, I might just stick with the motherboard already on the list. Otherwise, it'd be great to get the full potential out of the M.2 drive.

It's not 32 GB/s, it's 32 Gbit/s, which is the same as 4 GB/s.

Strange, okay... someone in another thread said otherwise. I probably misread it.

You lose the full 32Gb/s bandwidth of NVMe to the 4Gb/s of PCIe x4

Also the difference is that you are paying over $100 more than this M.2 drive by Intel (in comparison with the 950 PRO)
