Hey, guys. Quick noob question:

I have an Aorus Z390 Pro Motherboard. Is it possible to install an SSD NvMe of 8TB (Corsair Force MP510 SSD 4TB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 3.0 to be exact), and my motherboard won't recognize it due to its large size or something?

Basically, is there a limit to the space size an SSD or HDD has that a Motherboard can recognize?

there's no size limit no. an 8TB SSD will work fine

There is no such issues on NVMe, it was limitation of what the old busses could address, it's not longer the case. There is some limit, but in Petabytes.

It will probably be fine, but NVMEs are finicky things. I've had more issues with NVMEs in the last few years than any other piece of hardware. None of them size related.

Weird my m.2 drive has lasted longer than any hdd I've ever owned. Corsair mp510.

Now that I am using exclusively using Samsung NVMes I've stopped having issues.

I have 2 seperate NVME's and 3 SSD's in my PC and I've not had issues with any. What issue did you have with your nvme? I was surprised how easily NVME worked right out the box without any issues.

A Corsair brand one and 1 Sabrent one caused issues.
