Hello,
I bought this M.2 SSD to boost my old PC:
PNY XLR8 CS3030 M.2 NVMe Internal SSD 500GB
https://www.amazon.fr/PNY-XLR8-CS3030-NVMe-500GB/dp/B07MW3NQKW/ref=asc_df_B07MW3NQKW/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=313778003960&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2017055505432781721&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9109110&hvtargid=pla-681270082454&psc=1&ref=&adgrpid=68091174411

I checked the ports on my Motherboard:
MSI B150 Gaming M3
https://fr.msi.com/Motherboard/B150-GAMING-M3/Specification

Here are the details on the M.2 port:
1 x M.2 Key M Socket connector, supports 2280/2260/2242 SSD storage devices in SATA mode

The SSD is of type 2280, M socket, it fits perfectly on the support.

The SSD connector corresponds to the middle image in this photo:

Is there something I’m missing?

Thank you

    Hello

    On older motherboard models like this one, you need to enable the M.2 port in the BIOS (this often results in disabling some SATA III ports)
    Refer to the motherboard manual for details
