Hello guys,
my intention was to install the FreeBSD on a SSD NVMe, M.2 on my PC using the PCIe slot. Enlighted by the tips of Phishfry (and other forums members) I've contacted the technical support of my motherboard asking which SSD NMVe, M.2 it was able to support.
To correctly identify my motherboard, the technical support form asks the motherboard Serial Number field of as it is shown in the BIOS.
The motherboard in question is: ASUS BM1AF.
This is the reply of the Service Centre:
"Regarding your request, we inform you that you can not connect an M.2 SSD to the motherboard's PCIe port, as they are two different technologies.
The M.2 connection is not supported by your card, here is the link where you can check the list of SSDs compatible with your motherboard".
THE QUESTION:
I know that M.2 and PCIe are two different technologies.
However, also if the motherboard has not a dedicated slot for the M.2, should be possible connect a M.2 card to a PCIe slot.
Or not ?
