SSD Upgrade for my G224: 500GB SATA -> 2TB nvme?
What's the best route to upgrade from a 500GB SATA drive on my G224? It uses the ASROCK 360M Pro4 motherboard which also has a couple m.2 slots. I see a place for a 2nd SATA drive but was wondering if an m.2 format nvme drive is possible? Is I can upgrade to a m.2 format do i need to stick to the QVL list items listed by ASROCK? Thanks

M.2_1 is PCIe Gen3 x4. That should work fine. I wouldn't be concerned about the QVL list with a drive, we haven't seen any issues in a while. Also, given the age of the board, it's likely out of date.
- 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s)**
- 1 x M.2 Socket (M2_2), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x1 (8 Gb/s)**
