Editing NVMe Drives (section)

== Installation ==
This is actually the hardest part of the process:  getting the things into a system.  

Many of the newer high-end motherboards have M.2 slots that can handle NVMe drives ... but there can be caveats.  Sometimes the  M.2 slot is for the SATA version of the drives -- and NVMe drives won't work.  If the number of PCIe lanes is limited on the motherboard, it may be a choice between using the M.2 slot or the second PCIe x16 slot.

If an M.2 slot is not present, the next alternative is to get a M.2 PCIE x4 adaptor card.  On the surface this is great -- but in practice, it is less than useful as most motherboards only have one PCIe slot that is more than x1 -- and the graphics card usually sits in it.
