Hey /g/, about to buy a 512gb Samsung 950 pro m.2 for my os and

Not all M.2 SSD's are notched the same.

one or more of your sata ports will not work, that should be the only incompatibility.

Yup, it'll disable 1 or 2 sata ports, but that's it

That's what I figured. I think I can live with 6/8 sata ports, just barely though. But overall, it will theoretically work as a primary storage device?

>>55096622
Wow I bought like a $110 motherboard that can do m.2 x4. Yours is four times the price!

>>55096757
Yes I'm running a 250GB one in my 5820k build as my boot drive

>>55096771
Yeah, I like a lot of the features on the board. But if you think this board is expensive, check out the msi x99A godlike carbon mobo. I can't justify that cost

Looks like I'm pulling the trigger. So far, how has it been? I'm pretty excited to test it out.

It's slower on boot up because it requires more steps in the POST process (PCI initialization). Once you're loaded into Windows however it's very fast, loads applications very quickly and large file transfers are a breeze.

Really depends on your workload how much you'll notice it in your day to day tasks
