Intel 600p supported?

[Swinzon]

Hi! Is my Asus B150M-PLUS capable of running a Intel 600p NVME SSD drive? Planning to get one but not quite sure if it`s supported

yes, but only at x2 not x4 speed, so you will be slowed down.

How come?
What speeds will I get? I got a Corsair Force GT 240GB now, will it be faster?

Board limitation, since B150 gives less PCI-E lanes to chipset than Z170/270. 

It will be quite a bit faster, but an SSD is an SSD - you won't really notice much.

Okey, but I read that my motherboard won`t support the NVME SSD?

• Storage
  Intel® B150 chipset : 
  1 x M.2 Socket 3, , with M key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (both SATA & PCIE mode)*1
  6 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), gray

Can't see it says it's supported... what will happen if it's not supported and I try to boot? Nothing?

Check again. PCIE = NVME. If you try to boot with an unsupported SSD, it will just not be detected in UEFI/BIOS.

Okey, I saw that now
So you are 100% sure that my motherboard will support the Intel 600p? Kinda lame if it doesn`t

Can never be 100% sure, but there's a very high chance that it will work. Just make sure your retailer has a good return policy haha

Oooft.. maybe bring your machine along or meet up with the guy in your home or nearby and try it in the machine.
