- Support OS booting from PCIe SSD: Need to reinstall OS, and setup BIOS/UEFI booting from this M.2 PCIe SSD. (Noted: Some motherboards too old to setup OS booting from M.2 PCIe SSD. Additionally, Windows 7 may not support OS booting from M.2 PCIe SSD. In this case M.2 PCIe SSD can be used as storage disk)
- M.2 PCIe SSD as Storage Disk, widely OS compatibility: Plug and play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS. (Noted: Windows 7 do not have native NVMe driver, so can not support M.2 PCIe SSD). Brand new M.2 PCIe SSD need to be Initialized and formated before PC recognize it.
