A: AnswerIt will support 1 of these drives only. The actual spec says 1 2230/2280 m.2 drive. If this is for upgrade it should be fine.Answered by Perfect
- A: AnswerFrom what I have read, it may depend in your current configuration, depends in what kind of processor and motherboard you have. You must look for your motherboard documentation. It should not give you a compatibility problem, but it may slow down your graphic card or disable some of you SATA ports because PCIe ports share bandwidth or something like that. But to be sure you have to look for your PC or motherboard documentation.

Great SSD
For this price range this is the best ssd. This is the pcie nvme which at this time is the fastest again in this price range. Make sure your computer is compatible with the m.2 nvme before purchasing. The other ssd type is the M.2 Sata... they look very similar. You can tell the difference by the notch in the end. Sata has 2 and Nvme has 1.... however they will both fit in the same slot but your computer may not be compatible with the newer nvme. Good luck!

Super fast boot times with SSD
We upgraded by son's Dell gaming PC with the 500GB Samsung 970 EVO SSD. Along with a RAM upgrade (HyperX Fury), he went from 2 minute boot times to 20 second boot times! The drive was super easy to install, but note it does NOT come with the screw needed to attach the top of the drive in the PC case. I ordered an installation kit for a few bucks that included the screw and a heat sink, but you will need that part if it is not already in your PC. We paired this SSD with a 3TB standard drive to hold all his media and files. After installing the drive and updating drivers to see if, we created a boot USB drive and re-installed Windows clean on this drive, then re-installed files on the data drive. A very worthy upgrade for the price and easy to install. Upgrade your RAM while you have the PC open as well and enjoy the rewards.
