Can it be done? I have an Asus PCI-e adapter laying around from a time passed when I was trying to upgrade my boot drive from a SATA II ssd (80gb 320 series 2.5" SSD) to a 960evo m.2. I now have a motherboard that has an Ultra M.2 socket, but I'm thinking about making a media PC for the living room in a uATX case with an FX-6350 I have on hand and the adapter is just collecting dust. I'm trying to determine the best boot drive i can get away with. Doesn't have to be large capacity, as i have a 6tb external drive that all media/games will go on and connect via usb 3.0.
Back when I tried it before, I couldn't get it to work. Not with Samsung Magician migration, nor would Windows recognize it if i was trying to do a fresh install on it. Is there any trick to this or is it a system limitation that prevents it? I know there are PCI-e SSD's, but I don't know if it's different going from m.2>adapter>PCI-e. If it can't, it can't. No biggie.
