Overview
The game doesn’t provide M.2 thickness and motherboard compatibility so I went ahead and checked how thick an M.2 fits in each motherboard’s slots.I’ve sized M.2 slots into 3 sizes:Large: Fits the largest M.2 I could find, Corsair’s MP600.Medium: Fits the Patriot Viper VP4100, the fastest drive in the gameSmall: Fails to fit either of the above. My recommendation would be the Spectrix M.2 instead which fits in any slot, or if cheaping a bit the Kingston KC2000Mortoni & DFL motherboards will be excluded from the guide due to lacking M.2 entirely.
