what? Can SSDs run on memory slots? Teach you how to play
[PConline evaluation] memory slot memory is a common thing, but used to insert SSD estimates not many people have seen it, and many players' motherboards are plugged in 2 × 8GB memory after the formation of dual-channel It's enough, causing the remaining two slots to sit idle there. Today I found a black technology artifact that allows your SSD to run in a memory slot. Come and see how to play. â— Implementation conditions of the SSD memory slot: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX APEX Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview In order to achieve special functions, we must have special equipment. Today we must rely on the black technology ROG M9A from Asus's defeated country. Let's take a quick look at the motherboard. ASUS ROG M9A to maximize the highlights of personalized elements, the motherboard has done a subtraction design on all sides, a part of the edge of the streamlined, so that the appearance of the motherboard is instantly different from other motherboards. In addition to these, one of the most special places on the motherboard is the memory slot design - It is not difficult to find that there are only three memory slots in the ROG M9A. The two gray boxes on the left are high-frequency DDR4 slots, and the right one is a DDR3 slot. In addition, the black memory slot on the right side has obvious metal clips labeled “DIMM.2â€, indicating that it is dedicated to the M.2 SSD. Knowledgeable you immediately reacted, even if the DDR3 memory slot is not inserted into the M.2 SSD ah! @_@! ? Impatiently, there are artifact accessories to take out. Hey, everyone here knows everything. ASUS ROG M9A can realize the transfer of DDR3 memory slots and M.2 SSD through the expansion card, and the expansion card provides a 22110 NVMe M.2 SSD on both sides, supporting RAID mode. See here, if you have the basic knowledge of DIY know how to achieve it, and immediately engage in two SSD light to try. â— Implementation process: Two blue-cooled heat sinks, the T10 240GB SSD, are plugged into the two sides of the expansion card. After installing two SSDs, you can plug in the expansion card. Note that there is a buckle slot. The purpose is to prevent you from inserting DDR3 memory. At the same time plug in the razor-sharp Zhiqi TRIDENT Z RGB memory, this set of memory Chichi can achieve and ASUS motherboard AURA lamp synchronization, this bright is the color of faith. After assembling the platform, we will set up a RAID mode. â— BIOS settings should pay attention to open the expansion card features: ASUS ROG M9A supports up to DDR4 4266MHz frequency, and Zickey cooperation more closely, with TRIDENT Z series high-frequency memory can get high memory performance. This option is to control the DIMM.2 expansion card function, which can be found in the advanced PCH storage settings. With the Hyper Kit enabled, two Liteon T10 240 SSDs can be identified, that is, the two blue SSDs plugged into the expansion card. After confirming that it can be recognized, it will start RAID mode slightly. Click the F11 key to enter the option. Because it is a high-speed SSD that supports NVMe, it must be a PCIE channel. Click Next. Click OK after the computer automatically restarts, after a reboot is a RAID0 array of the disk, the capacity will be combined into 240 +240 = 480GB, and then the regular loading system boot. The process of installing the system is omitted.······ Directly on the SSD test results ~ Even if the group RAID0 has a certain gap from the top 960PRO, the price is still very good. Under various software tests, the reading speed is about 2500MB/s, which is very good. In fact, the test of running the M.2 SSD in the DDR3 slot has been completed. In fact, the entire implementation process is not difficult, as long as you have ASUS ROG M9A motherboard you can get, because the DIMM.2 expansion card is shipped with the motherboard ... hahaha. â—PConline evaluation room summary: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX APEX Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview Through ASUS ROG M9A's black technology, we successfully implemented the M.2 SSD in a DDR3 memory slot, and formed a RAID0 array mode. Asustek's black technology is indeed the industry's leading, and it shines. right? However, from the perspective of practicality, hahaha, in fact, it is the M.2 SSD interface that the motherboard should have moved to the location of the memory slot. Therefore, considering the number of interfaces, it is actually a follow-up. Like most mid-range and high-end motherboards, it provides two M.2 SSD interfaces... (Includes two additional memory slots). However, the remaining two DDR4 slots are also quite awesome, supporting up to 4266MHz, which is the highest level at present, and this board has also won world-class extreme frequency awards. In fact, the design of ROG M9A is more for show technology. It serves a very few high-end players who are pursuing personalization and pursuit. This is also a vague feeling from the irregular shape design of the motherboard. The concept of personalization is played incisively and thoroughly. Besides the difficulty of our operation, in fact, just like ordinary hardware, players with a bit of experience can even connect to the manual without having to read the manual. In addition to the ASUS ROG's BIOS, even RAID mode is not difficult. Maybe some players will think of plugging in the expansion card to other motherboards, but other motherboards and related BIOS options, so still give it up ~ for the time being it can only play this way. Therefore, this ROG M9A still deserves our praise, at least it is the first motherboard that allows M.2 SSD to run in the memory slot.
