ASUS ROGSTRIX B360-H - NVme Advice Please

[Darkice720]

Hey Guys,

So, I bought a system from 3xS (again - they're awesome PC's). My motherboard is ASUS ROGSTRIX B360-H and I have a Samsung 1TB 970 EVO PLUS on it. I am assuming it's in the main port.

Not being very tech savvy, I was wondering, could I put another one in the other port? If not, what drive do I need? Any recomendations?

Thanks for your time and help.

That's right. I'm not sure what slot yours is currently in, but if you stick with a 2280(22mx80m) sized drive you will be fine - this is the most common size for desktop PCs.

There may be a slight performance difference between the two ports, but not that you'll notice for standard or gaming use. You may also need an extra screw to hold the NVMe drive in place where the notch is, but maybe the drive will come with this or you may have a spare already from your build?

Brilliant, thank you. I went for the same one I have in there already, a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB - fingers crossed it comes today, so I can clean my system out (physically).

Thanks again
