Question 1

AsRock B450 Pro 4 motherboard compatibility?

Accepted Answer

should work fine with that motherboard. just keep in mind if you are still looking at other motherboards to look for an m.2 slot. in this particular motherboard, it is right about the PCI where you put the gpu

Question 2

What is the read and write speed?

Accepted Answer

I didn't directly measure them, but HD claims that it delivers sequential read speeds up to 1700MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 1450MB/s (500GB model).

Remember it only uses 2 PCI lanes.  Their SN550 model uses 4 lanes so will have a faster interface.  If you want even more speed, get one of their Black models.

I put one of these in an Intel NUC8  computer with an i-5 processor for my wife, who uses it mainly for web browsing, e-mail, and writing documents and it is plenty fast for that.

Question 3

Accepted Answer
