Compact Ryzen Platform with M.2 and RAID Storage Options
The Challenger B450M's storage setup is its most useful trait for a small build: a fast M.2 SSD takes the operating system and favourite games, while the four SATA ports support a mirrored or striped array for a media collection or a backup volume. Dual display outputs also let a processor with integrated graphics drive two screens without a dedicated card.
- Pick a Ryzen 3000, 4000 G-Series or 5000 Series AM4 processor for the build
- Install dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 64GB with A-XMP overclocking profiles
- Fit an M.2 SSD in the Key M slot for fast boot and application loading
- Add SATA drives across the four SATA 6Gb/s ports, using RAID where data redundancy matters
- Install a graphics card in the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot when gaming or GPU-accelerated work is needed
