i am planning a PC upgrade. Currently thinking about the motherboard and CPU.
i am planning to go for the ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-F G.
Can this motherboard handle 3 SSD Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVMe?
I can read from the specs “3 x M.2 slots” but i am not fully sure if this is the same…
before pulling the trigger i would like to confirm this
Yes, but while the slot may be M.2, it may not support 3 full length M.2 devices, so its a fair question. probably best to download the manual for the board, or ask on the ASUS support site.
You’ve got one M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot and two M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots on that board, both of which are the same or higher gen than the PCIe gen of the 970 EVO Plus, which is PCIe 3.0(or 4.0 if you’re buying the Gen4 version of it), so that’s fine. The bottom M.2 slot shares bandwidth with the bottom PCIe x16 slot. That should be fine as well; just make sure to use the top PCIe x16 slot for your GPU, which you should be doing anyway.
