Dear People,
I am planning on buying the Intel 750 pcie SSD , 1.2 TB capacity.
It's gonna be placed on my X99-UD4 mobo.
It will be my main Windows (10) bootdrive.
Has someone already placed this SSD on its GB x99 mobo and have it working succesfully as Windows bootdrive ?
Is it difficult to place ?
What cabling is necessary ?
I am quite a noob of doing these things by myself, hence the questions. 
Many thx in advance for your replies !
Hi Vanhaxe2000
This is truly a high spec drive. I have just installed 2x of the 400GB versions on a video editing rig for my friend. One for Windows 8.1 + Programs + Games on one, and the other has Page File cache, IE cache CS6 caches (scratch disk for Photoshop Illustrator InDesign Premier Pro etc).
With do drives attached do a BIOS update, and Load optimised defaults, save and exit.
Again, with no drives attached enter BIOS, and disable fast boot and full screen logo. This will help you enter BIOS later. Make your cd drive the first temporary boot. Power Off.
I find entering BIOS (UEFI) within Window a real pain. I use Win 8.1 Pro, and losing 3 seconds in startup is not a problem for me. You don't have to use it, but MS does not want other OS's on its turf, ie your computer. NVMe is not part of Windows. It is a hardware device via BIOS.
Install your Intel 750.
The boot drive needs its driver (it is a SCSI/SAS device) to be installed during the Windows install. Have a USB thumb drive made for this. I think I read somewhere that Intel may provide this thumb drive in its kit. Pick the driver that suits your Windows type (W 7 Pro / 32 or 64).
Think carefully about your future needs. Buying the 2 smaller drives is cheaper than the large one. If you go down the road of having a second drive, its driver is installed after the Operating System is installed.
2 drives?? One for OS and Programs - and one for Games??
