Morning all.
Thinking of getting a new SSD for my aged PC (it seems like only yesterday...) and as such i'm obviously intrigued by the M.2 offerings. Unfortunately my motherboard is too old to have a native slot for it, but I've seen a couple of adapters online that can be chucked into a PCIe slot.
My question is whether there's any special firmware requirements needed to actually use the drive as a boot drive.
Would my motherboard simply recognise it as a PCIe device or would it not work at all?
Motherboard's an MSI Z77A-GD65.
Thanks guys.
