would have to be an m.2 SSD. Regular 2.5" SSDs wouldnt work without some sort of adapting if its even possible.

Hi!

I have the Intel B250 motherboard and I was recently considering to add an SSD to my system. So I opened my case and saw these to things saying SSD next to them (see attachment). But I thought these were too small to be regular SATA.

So does anyone know what kind of device would fit on these slots? Thanks!

Says it right there, Top one is a Sata/pcie m.2 SSD port, and bottom one is an Optane Memory m.2 slot.
