M.2 SSD boot disk

[plykkegaard]

Dammit should've bought a M.2 PCI-e SSD but got a SATA instead due to lack of knowledge on my side
Anyone knows where a M.2 SATA SSD can be used
Is it only as a drive for laptops?

you can use in a pc with the sata III or express cable in the specific slot (in the front of the case). You need also to attach the ssd in the power supply also with the cable of supply. Here is a link for clarification http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-19 ... -case.html
hope it helped.

Ahh yes I should've been more clear
I's a tiny beast like this for the M.2 PCIe slot on the mobo

[lolli]

what type of mobo have u?
because if u have the sata ssd u can't attach it on the m.2 port that is directly on the mobo

[plykkegaard]

Asus Z97-A, the M.2 slot is PCIe only

go to http://www.asus.com/it/Motherboards/Z97A/ and scroll down for the image you can see the port.
If u buyed the ssd on amazon i council to return the product so you can buy the PCIe ssd although i don't know how to do because m.2 pcie are different from sata here are the difference

I'll probably get an adapter like this and use the SSD as a normal SATA disk as a start
