I have an Asus P8H61-MX USB3 and since i've had my pc for a couple of years now, i find myself in need of an upgrade. I have already found a RAM and a graphics card, but i cant figure out how to check the compatibility of the ssd i want to buy (Samsung 860 Evo 500GB) is compatible with my motherboard. Any thoughts?

Your motherboard only supports "standard" SATA connections - i.e: it doesn't have an mSATA or M.2 socket on it.

The Samsung 860 EVO comes in one of three form factors:

  • 2.5"
  • mSATA
  • M.2

As your motherboard doesn't support anything other than "standard" SATA, you should purchase the 2.5" model, and connect it accordingly.
