Hi all.
I am contemplating to add 1 or 2 NVMe 500 GB storage sticks to my Skylake GA-Z170X-UD3 mobo.
It's an ageing mobo but has proven reliable over the years. I am therefore considering to add 1 or perhaps even 2 NVMe sticks to this machine. From gleaning through the handbook, both slots support 32G speed ranges but using these slots seem to impact the availability or functionality of some of the standard SATA slots, at least that is the way I interpret the writeup, pictures and diagrams contained the handbook for this mobo.
I would therefore appreciate if somebody with hands on experience can advise me as to:
1. Which brand and model NVMe drive is compatible with this particular motherboard.
2. What possible side affects, if any, will I let myself in to should I populate either 1 or both of the available slots.
Your responses will be most appreciated.
Greetings Henties.
