Looking to pick up an M.2 SSD soon. Looking at a Crucial MX500 1TB; would consider NVMe but those seem to be notably more expensive so I may just get the SATA drive.
My motherboard has two M.2 slots, one of which is an "Ultra M.2". Specs for my motherboard are here:
ASROCK X370 Killer SLI/ac
Is there anything different about "Ultra M.2" slots when it comes to SATA drives? Or can I safely clone my current SATA 3 form factor SSD to a new M.2 SATA and then boot from the Ultra M.2 slot?
Is there anything else BIOS wise that may need to be done if I boot from the M.2 slot, or will it detect the drive like it does for a traditional SATA form factor drive?
Mainly doing this from a cable management perspective so I can use three HDDs if needed, and plan on moving one of my old SATA form factor SSDs to my laptop.
