Does X99 gaming 7 wifi motherboard support Samsung 950 Pro NVMe?

(1/3) > >>

ToXic_Chaos:
The driver is not in the support list but i see a lot of ppl in the forum on lower tier x99 motherboards running the  Samsung 950 Pro with no problem.

Can some1 confirm that the  Samsung 950 Pro can run on my mobo ?

ToXic_Chaos:
No1 ? Cmon guys you are killing me  :'(

dmdilks:
You have to have Bios F7 - 8.13 MB - 2015/01/29 - Support future NVMe SSD drive.

ToXic_Chaos:
Ok. thank!

Since the board is x1/2 on M.2 i wont be getting the full speeds of the 950 that is x4 . Because there is support for the Samsung SM951 M.2 drive that is x4 as well. So i am kind of lost ^_^ . What the support stands for if it wont run properly ( PCI-E 2.0 x2 is 8 Gb/s (1 GB/s) - 6.4 Gb/s (800 MB/s))?

I guess support stands for ''the system is going to detect the hardware''.

So at the end of the day its not worth going for m.2 if you are rocking an ssd raid (2.5).

ToXic_Chaos:
The specifiacations refer to the m.2 port as a socket 3 port but i thought the socket 3 are x4  ???
''1 x M.2 PCIe connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2260/2280 SATA & PCIe x2/x1 SSD support)''
