One community user reported “I upgraded two of my 3670 PC from the 250GB Mushkin Pilot NVMe drives I had installed last year. To 500GB Silicon Power P34A80 NVMe drives. 
Now I'm seeing around 3400MB/s(27.2Gb/s) read speeds and around 3000MB/s(24Gb/s) write speeds. Speeds that meet the actual specs of the the Silicon Power NVMe drives. “

  1. Align the notch on the solid-state drive with the tab on the M.2 card slot.
  2. Slide the solid-state drive into the M.2 card slot on the system board.
  3. Replace the screw (M2x3.5) that secures the solid-state drive to the system board.

Are there any step-by-step instructions on installing, perhaps with a diagram of the innards?  Thank you.
