NVMe SSDs: Everything you need to know about this insanely fast storage | PCWorldNVMe is a communications standard developed specially for SSDs by a consortium of vendors including Intel, Samsung, Sandisk, Dell, and Seagate.... Bottom line: NVMe is fast. Really fast. Like never-have-to-wait-again-for-your-computer fast.

Bios needs nvme module to be able to boot from nvme device.
Older machines don't have the necessary bios. Some exceptions - There is a new gigabyte bios for ga b75m d3h which includes nvme module.
Owners of the 2011 gigabyte ga b75m d3h mobo can get nvme support by updating the bios to the December 2018 version - like I have.
As always, flash bios at own risk
b75m-d3h-f16-bios.7z
It is then possible to use a pcie to nvme adapter for maximum fun.

I have heard SABERTOOTH-990FX-R20-ASUS-2901.zip bios has the nvme modules. I haven't tested that one so I am not certain.

If there is no built in nvme connector, then pcie adapter should work.

lol nice... but the BIOS change log doesn't mention it..
2016/08/05
SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 BIOS 2901
Improve system stability
as it turns out I already have this BIOS version installed/FLASHED..
it does have one flaw.. the mouse does not work in the BIOS in v2901
it keeps getting stuck in the top right corner of the screen...

If attached to pcie 2.0 it won't be as fast as pcie 3.0, nevertheless 2000mbs should be doable on pcie 2.0.It appears that bios 2901 comes with nvme support. I have googled it and it seems others have gotten it to work as well. I think I will be able to get only 2000 mb/s speed max with it since that is the cap for pci 2.0 since the card can run up to 3400 mb/s. Hopefully I can get it to work as a boot drive. If anyone with experience on any of the parts can confirm that would be appreciated!
I have gotten my WD blue M.2 drive to boot with my Sabertooth v2.0 through PCIe using the 2901 bios update.

On that mobo, if you have other boot drives, you might need to tap F12 or whatever it is to bring up the bios boot selection menu.
