Problem with M.2 SSD, Please help.
Went to Canada Computers today and saw a Crucial MX300 275GB SATA M.2 SSD on clearance at $99.99. So I asked a sales if it will be compatible with my motherboard which is an Asus Z97-A USB3.1, the guy checked on his monitor and told me it will work. Bought it and installed it. Changed bios settings to M.2, nothing, could not see the drive. Checked my motherboard manual and it stated it works with PCIE mode only. The Crucial is Sata mode , no wonder.
Canada Computers has marked the receipt as final sales, no exchanges or refund. I will go back tomorrow to see if I can get a refund if not try to change it to this Intel M.2 600p http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_ ... _id=102655 since it seems they have an open box in London. If not the next thing up is the Samsung 960 which is at $169.99. I don't want to pay that much.
If they are not going to refund or exchange, what options do I have other than sell it at a lost. Are there any convertor that can change it to a regular SSD and connect to the Sata port?
Thanks in advance.
