This web page is very informative: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015...e-interface-that-will-speed-up-your-next-ssd/. But not enough!
I just purchased an ADATA Premier SP600NS34 M.2 2242 128GB SATA III drive. As Ericloewe said, documentation for the x11ssh-f board only says it supports PCIe. So I think I made a newbie goof too.
From what I understand, the 80 mm dimension in the specs for the M.2 slot does not require only 80mm cards. The dimension is just the length of the card, so a smaller one, such as a 42mm card, would fit too. I understand that an 80mm card might have a place to be screwed down on a 2280 connector, but don't these cards sit perpendicular to the MB? If so, where do they screw down?
In any case, I'm now looking at exchanging the ADATA card for an Intel SD 600p Series 128 GB card, which uses PCIe. But are there some alligators here that this newbie is not seeing?
