I am trying to understand the issues with the new NVMe interface and older motherboards.
I have a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC and I simply cannot workout whether I should buy NVMe or AHCI.
In short:
If I buy an NVMe drive for a motherboard that doesn't support NVMe natively, which of these scenarios is the correct one:
1 – I cannot boot into my NVMe drive, but I can take full NVME advantage as a secondary drive
2 – I cannot boot into my NVMe drive, but I can use it as a secondary drive with some limitations
3 – I cannot use my NVMe drive at all
