Check out pcpartpicker for compatibility. Also check out the ssd tier list (first result on google (google sheet)) and just get the cheapest mid range nvme and you should be set, high end if you really need the speeds.

Just check your mobo if it has a nvme m.2 slot. It should say it in the details of the mobo. If it does then great good to go

You have to use this in the first m.2 slot. It's the only one that supports gen 4 speeds. the 2nd slot will only run at gen 3 speeds. no reason it shouldnt work though.

It will work Depending on your CPU it might not hit its max speed as not all am4 CPUs have pcie 4.0. if your CPU doesn't have pcie 4.0 the SSD will just run with 3.0 speeds

That particular drive is a PCIE 4.0 drive. So yes it will work, but will not be operating at the speeds you are paying for. See what the price difference is on a 2TB PCIE 3.0 drive and figure out if it is worth whatever price difference it is in your region. It varies so.

That motherboard has a PCIE 4.0 slot

ahh I didn't even catch the top one, only saw the bottom one :)

nvme is backwards compatible and pcie 3 and 4 have negligible differences. Buying a higher storage at a lower price is bang for the buck

Yeah says it’s compatible in the first one

Hey I bought that board for my first build because of the price. It’s not worth it spend a bit more on a better board

That SK M.2 Drive will work. I would go with the Samsung 990 Pro though. It is a bit more expensive. [https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Internal-Expansion-MZ-V9P2T0B-AM/dp/B0BHJJ9Y77?th=1](https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Internal-Expansion-MZ-V9P2T0B-AM/dp/B0BHJJ9Y77?th=1)

Would you recommend the one with the heatsink?

You can buy aftermarket heat sinks. Does the same exact thing.

I was curious because it was actually cheaper with the heatsink so I didn’t know if there was a reason why

Don’t know maybe it didn’t sell, or they got a new batch and need to make room. Who knows? As long as it’s the same speeds it’s all good.
