Can I use Plextor PX-G1256 M6E 256GB M6e2280 PCI Express Gen2 x2 SSD in m.2 slot

[andlescall]

I have had problems with Crucial M.2 mistakenly bought Crucial CT128 M550 SSD4 128GB M550 M.2 Type 2280 instead of CT120M500SSD4 according to vendors list. The M550 works then lost drive removed relocated and worked again. I am worried that this might happen again so looking at vendors list now thinking about Plextor PX-G1256 M6E 256GB M6e 2280 PCI Express Gen2 x2 SSD in m.2 slot.

Any suggestions as I do not want to make the same mistake twice - lost in model numbers part numbers.

Thanks

Hi andlescall,

I have one of these in my GA-Z97X-UD5H rig as the BOOT Drive with Windows 8.1 64 and it works fine for me. Check out the reviews here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=14710.0 and here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=14703.0 for more info.
