  1. Finally board manufacturers are ditching the worthless sata express.

    I’m still unaware of why sata express requires the use of two sata ports. Unless those connectors are what it uses for the two pci express lanes, but that seems pointless when theres m.2 and u.2 which provide double the bandwidth with 4 lanes vs 2, and supposedly support upto x8.

    I think x4 3.0 will be the new standard for high performance SSDs and the focus will move towards bringing higher and higher IOPs since thats still what limits most applications.

  2. Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends & family! !mj31d:

  3. Can I boot from a M.2 SSD on this MB?

  4. Yes. I’m using one right now.

  5. Awesome news. Is all that’s required to just load driver during the OS Install?

  6. apparently with the newest bios update, you should be able to just plug and play. So selecting it as the OS install and you’re good to go.

  7. Love it! Thanks again, I can’t wait to get started on this build.
