Hi, I would like to know if GigaByte B360N WIFI is able to boot from a M.2 SSD (SATA or PCIe based),

Thank you!

From the manual "Storage Interface Chipset: - 1 x M.2 connector on the back of the motherboard (Socket 3, M key, type 2260/2280 SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSD support)" you should have no problem booting from an M.2 NMVE SSD.

Well, they are not saying specifically that allow booting from M.2 SSD.

It is a standard feature, with the sole intention of being used as a boot drive. Once upon a time, NVME drives had buggy firmware and BIOS versions were primitive and you even often had to load drivers before installing Windows. This was a long time ago, you literally have nothing to worry about, I have not seen a board yet in the last 2 generations of Intel Chipsets have any problems.

Does it works also with Ubuntu? which version?
