Has anyone installed this drive Samsung 960 Pro 512Gb (M.2) on this motherboard GA-Z170X-Designare?

Will it work with Intel 750 (U.2) NVMe PCIe SSDs on this motherboard?

Will both be seen in the bios?

Based on what I'm seeing on pages 29-31 of your manual...  only standard/SATA Express ports are affected when you populate M2 and U2 slots simultaneously.  You can't use them together for RAID, but both should be present in BIOS.

I do not mean raid only as two separate disks one on the system and the other on the game.

And is there anyone who has this Samsung 960 pro with this motherboard?

Intel works well because I have it.
