SSD and old motherboard

[camseg]

Hi there,

I have an old rig composed of a motherboard from 2015, a Z97X (https://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/Fatal1ty Z97X Killer/index.fr.asp)
I also have an old 1To solid hard drive.
I would like to add a SSD to the rig. I was eyeballing this one: https://www.amazon.fr/Samsung-Internal-Solid-State-MZ-V8P1T0BW/dp/B08GS7748F

- Would this SSD be compatible with my motherboard?
- If yes, how can I locate where that port is?

Thanks in advance for the support

980 pro is a waste on a z97 motherboard, my garage PC is based on the Z97X-UD3H board, the slot is limited to PCIE2 with 2x lanes, giving you a maximum throughput of 10 gigabits.

Here's the slot on your board, I'd simply find a less expensive drive since it's impossible to hit over 900 MB/sec or so in transfers over that bus. I threw my old 960 Pro in mine and it has been working okay aside from the known reduced throughput. Also keep in mind the slot supports both M.2 SATA and M.2 NVME drives.
