proper zinc
@upbeat quail ill be here whenever its done or if u need to sleep we can continue tomorrow
rose yoke
I doubt your motherboard supports booting off a nvme drive
you might be able to use it as a secondary storage drive, however
proper zinc
thats what im leaning towards now
we updated everything
you can use a sata drive for sure
rose yoke
yes that's the point
consumer boards that supported nvme drives in 2014 were very little, if any even existed
proper zinc
i couldnt find anything in his mobo manual saying it doesnt support it which is why i tried any work around i could
but alas
rose yoke
they were also extremely expensive, with 1tb going up to like $400-600
proper zinc
SOLVED FOR NOW
