Hi there,

your link isn't working so I can't see an image but I believe the message you are seeing is normal and refers to PCI-e drives rather than SSD as I had a similar message on the GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3 motherboard.

There should be no problem with using the SSD and, if you check in BIOS it is most probably being recognised OK.
