I was trying to install an M.2 NVME drive on my Asus A320M-K with the A10-9700 APU installed. No fun! After much research I found out that the chipset of the board only supports M.2 "SATA" drives with this MoBo/CPU configuration. So I bought this CD and Instant Joy worked great. The only benefit it has over a SATA SSD is less assembly clutter since both feature SATA III. This also frees up all 4 SATA ports on the board to install spinning rusty drives to populate a Plex Media Server in Raid 5 I hope.
