How to Install a NVME SSD Hard Drive on a Computer without SATA Port?

Devon would like to install a new hard drive on his computer. Because he does not have a SATA port available on his motherboard, he has decided to purchase a NVME SSD hard drive.

How can Devon attach a NVME device to his computer?

Answer:

PCIe expansion card

U.2 port on the motherboard

M.2 slot on the motherboard

Explanation:

NVMe is a communications standard developed specially for SSDs by a consortium of vendors which operates across the PCIe bus (hence the ‘Express’ in the name), which allows the drives to act more like the fast memory that they are, rather than the hard disks they imitate.

If a user purchased a NVMe SSD hard drive and he doesn't have a SATA port available on his motherboard, the user can attach the NVMe hard drive to his computer through the following:

  • PCIe expansion card
  • U.2 port on the motherboard
  • M.2 slot on the motherboard
