M.2 SSD

How do I install Microsoft Windows 7 on a PCIe NVMe SSD?
Do addlink NVMe M.2 SSDs work with any M.2 slot?
Do addlink NVMe M.2 SSDs work under Linux?
addlink NVMe SSDs are compatible with Linux.
How should a NVMe M.2 SSD be installed on a PC?
Installation of addlink NVMe M.2 SSDs is essentially plug-and-play. Simply insert the NVMe SSD in an M.2 PCIe slot, tighten the SSD in place with the screw and spacer provided by your mainboard manufacturer, and boot up your system from an external source before proceeding with a fresh install of your operating system. Windows has an in-box driver that ensures your addlink NVMe SSD is operational from the start.
Can I move data from an HDD or SATA SSD to a addlink NVMe M.2 SSD?
Can I plug a NVMe M.2 SSD in a traditional PCIe slot?
Yes. Many add-in-card adapters exist, but for optimal performance and compatibility addlink recommends using an original M.2 slot for your NVMe SSD.
My system is a little older and I'm not sure if addlink M.2 PCIe is compatible. Is there a compatibility list?
Will addlink M.2 PCIe work in any M.2 slot?
addlink M.2 PCIe will work in any M.2 slot that supports PCIe NVMe. Not compatible are systems that use M.2 with only legacy SATA or PCIe AHCI. mSATA slots, which are easily mistaken for M.2 slots, are incompatible as well. The same is true for M.2 WWAN slots which are usually compatible with wireless WAN modules only.
Can I use addlink M.2 PCIe in a MacBook (Pro) with M.2 slot?
No, Apple utilizes proprietary slots that will not work with standard M.2 drives.
X70 lighting control cannot sync with Gaming system issue
addlgame X70 has already been test and verified. It can be compatible with the most of gaming system such as MSI, Asus, ASRock, and Gigabyte.
However, sometimes, the utility of the gaming system is been updated, and cause addgame x70 module cannot be synced with the system.
So, if you have the sync problem, please make sure your system utility version is update to the latest version as below links.

COMPATIBILITY
Are addlink NVMe M.2 SSDs delivered with a screw?
addlink NMVe M.2 SSDs are not delivered with a screw. This is because mainboard manufacturers typically provide the specific screws and spacers that fit the proprietary needs of each mainboard.
BIOS/UEFI Configuration for Optimizing M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs
Can I use a NVMe M.2 SSD at the same time as s SATA SSD or HDD?
Yes. There are no technical limitations in using an NVMe M.2 SSD concurrently with a SATA SSD or HDD. Please make sure your mainboard has a sufficient number of interfaces to accommodate multiple storage devices.
Can NVMe M.2 SSDs be RAIDed?
Yes. the NVMe M.2 SSDs can be grouped into a RAID formation. Please ensure that your mainboard has a sufficient number of NVMe M.2 slots and that sufficient PCIe lanes are available for maximal performance.
I'm unable to boot from my M.2 PCIe. What can I do?
How do I install a M.2 PCIe as a boot drive?
Platform won't wake up from Sleep Mode after Windows Update?
My M.2 PCIe doesn't work as expected! How do I fix this?
What is the sector size of the addlink S70 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD?
S70 default sector size is 512Bytes.
