Remark
There are three types of M.2 SSDs, please make sure you know the difference between them and whether your system/motherboard support them before pairing these with your SilverStone product.
Legacy SATA (B Key)
Used for SATA SSDs, and interfaced through the AHCI driver and legacy SATA 3.0 (6 Gbit/s) port exposed through the M.2 connector.
PCI Express Using AHCI (M Key)
Used for PCI Express SSDs and interfaced through the AHCI driver and provided PCI Express lanes, providing backward compatibility with widespread SATA support in operating systems at the cost of not delivering optimal performance by using AHCI for accessing PCI Express SSDs.
PCI Express Using NVMe (M Key)
Used for PCI Express SSDs and interfaced through the NVMe driver and provided PCI Express lanes, as a high-performance and scalable host controller interface designed and optimized especially for interfacing with PCI Express SSDs. NVMe has been designed from the ground up, capitalizing on the low latency and parallelism of PCI Express SSDs, and complementing the parallelism of contemporary CPUs, platforms and applications.

| Remark |
* ECM28’s 'M' key is for use only with PCIe SSD, 'B' key is for use with only SATA SSD
** B key SSD requires SATA 7 pin cable connected to motherboard to function
*** M.2 PCIe NVMe mode SSD requires the use of Intel® 9 series (Z97 H97 Z170 X99) or higher version chipset motherboard with Windows 8 or higher version operating system
**** If there are compatibility issues such as device not being recognized or detected between your operating system and ECM28, please update your driver or BIOS on your motherboard to the latest version. You can also try running the system compatibility mode in your operating system and select the previous operating system version to install the drivers required for ECM28. |
