Which Solid State Drives Support SATA Express?

[RedSoxFan]

I’m thinking about building a Hackintosh and I want a Solid State Drive with an interface that’s faster than SATA but less expensive than NVME, especially since Samsung seems to be the only company making NVMe Solid State Drives and they charge a lot.

Are there any Solid State Drives that support SATA Express? Which ones?

If you do not have an M.2 socket, try https://www.asus.com/Motherboard-Accessories/Hyper_Express/ and buy one of the AHCI M.2 SSDs like the http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VELDBJ6/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

Oh, okay. You can use SATA Express as long as you have an M.2 slot? Okay, cool.

Personally, I would not go with SATA Express - I would use something like a https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...ld-keywords=lycom+dt-120&tag=tonymacx86com-20 adapter and a http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VELDBJ6/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 and just plug it into a PCIex4/x8/x16 slot. It would be faster than SATA Express.

How about this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0194MV3XM/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

Also, I haven’t built a Hackintosh yet, but I’m planning on using the MSI 170a Gaming M3 motherboard, which has an M.2 slot.

That would work. Since it has both M and B key slots it can be either SATA or PCIe connected.
