Hello,

is the Surface 8 Pro compatible with PCIe 4 drives or can I only use PCIe 3 ssd?

If not all drives are compatible, which drives work?

Best regards,

Peter

    Hi,

    thank you, but this information won't help fully.

    But I assume, that not all drives are compatible with the surfaces - it would be really helpful, if Microsoft provides some informations about the compatibility.

    I have read, that PCIe 4 ssd won't work at all?

    Why would that be, since the drives themselfes should be compatible to PCIe 3.
