M.2 into sabertooth 990fx r2.0 with pcie adapter

[jthmz]

Hello all,

 

Ive installed a Samsung Evo 450 250gb m.2 into a Silverstone m.2 to PCIE adapter sitting in my sabertooth 990fx r2.0. Using the sata side i plugged it in and its showing in windows. Whats funny is that it throws errors when trying to run AS SSD and also when i try to transfer data everything goes fine for about 20 seconds then all data halts. I tried installing GTA on steam and it ran for a bit then stopped all together. Not sure if my mobo isnt compatible or something.

 

thanks,

 

Joe

is that adapter card NVME compatible?? SATA is not the same as NVME... i have just got myself a 960 evo.. with a Lycom DT-120 NVME m.2 adapter card (that works)... i think that could be that reason... if its not compatible withe NVME but its a SATA m.2 adapter card

and it it should be installed in the m.2 M key.. where it says "for pcie m2 ssd m key)

Yes the Silverstone card is nvme compatible.. Others have had luck if you look at the reviews. Ive tried in both slots and it only gets picked up in the sata slot when plugged into a sata port. Which should work but doesn't. Maybe Mobo needs m.2 or pcie3.

Curious, why did you go through all the trouble of buying an m.2 drive? Seems like a lot of work for the same outcome a standard 850 would have gotten you.

 

It seems like one of the ports runs off PCIe, and the other off SATA. Are you sure you have it set up properly?

Maybe try running it off the PCIe slot first?

It doesn't need to be NVME compatible, the 850 isn't an NVME drive.

iirc it could be that the boards chipset is too old, i know there is possible issues with z77 which is similar age if not a tad newer

yeah its not popping up at all without being used on the sata side. Odd. I even bought an Asus m.2 to PCie card to test and same result.
