Windows 10: Any way to install a NVMe card in this MoBo M4A88TD-V EVO ?

M4A88TD-V EVO

Assuming I could use a NVMe card with an adaptor maybe, what type exactly the NVMe card would be?

I suppose an Optane card would be too much to ask...

Thanks

Help with m4a88td-v evo motherboard ram

Hi im building my first PC.As you can tell im using a m4a88td-v evo usb motherboard, and trying to find the right ram.On asus they gave me a list of ram.Im looking for 8 gbs of ddr3 1333.
But some of the ones asus list dont have the mother board support on the memory's product page.
I want to buy 2 of these: http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=95 But as you can see it doesn't list the 880g chipset
I would rather buy this because its cheaper: CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3...
But it says its an i7/i5 memory even though asus list it under support memory for the m4a88td series.
So can anyone help me with this?This is where I got my supported memory from asus:

Windows refuses to install on NVME SSD (Samsung 960 EVO)

First, thanks everyone who copy-pasted the first relevant results they found in Google. I found those before I asked the question.

The solution that I got to work is as follows:

• Disable CSM / UEFI
• Enable Secure Boot
• Now the installer can access the NVME SSD
  • Format the drive
  • Restart the machine
• 
  Enable CSM / UEFI
  
• 
  Disable Secure Boot
  
• 
  Proceed to installer and now Windows will allow you to install to the NVME SSD drive
  

 

Samsung 960 EVO NVMe performance...


My new system is based on the Asus Prime Z370-A MB, that has two PCIe (x4), M.2_1 and M.2_2. Both of the sockets are populated with Samsung SSD 960 EVO 250 GB M.2 cards.

Windows 10 setup had selected the M.2_1 drive and installed without any issues. Windows 10 is up to date, including the patch released today, and Samsung NVMe driver installed.

Checking the performance of the "C" drive with CrystalDisk looks good:





Well, until the other NVMe drive is checked that is:





In every category, the "E" drive performs better than the the "C" drive, especially in write performance , and it puzzles me.

The only difference visible between the two is the used space; "C" has 47 while "E" has 7GBs used space.

Could the disk space utilization be responsible for the different performance, or the "C" drive came with some slight factory fault(s)?

While there are temperature differences between the two NVMe cards, the "C" drive has a heatsink and actually runs 2-4 degree cooler than the "E" drive:





Any advice would be appreciated, TIA...
