Intel 750 Questions

1) I heard that some motherboards have problems with having this SSD as a bootable drive, so which motherboards work with it that can have it as a bootable drive? Do all X99 motherboards support it like the ASUS Rampage V for example?

Please list the motherboards that can have it working properly to its full bandwidth and have it bootable.

2) I noticed they have 2 versions of this SSD, PCIe and 2.5" . Is there a difference in performance with the full fledged PCIe card vs the 2.5" form factor?
 
i haven't seen any reports of the intel 750 having issues installing as a boot drive - it's actually the only PCIe SSD that ships with OPROM files on a CD, so i assumed that was the reason.

do you have a link to the report(s) you've seen?

on the SFF-8639 connection cable necessary for the 2.5" form SSD, it requires an adaptor that plugs into the M.2 socket on your board, so you need to make sure your m.2 socket is PCIe 3.0 x4 (4 lanes) or the SSD will be throttled - some info at below link

X99 and Z97 with the motherboard BIOS updated for NVMe support to use it as a bootable drive . There are some other series boards that have been gotten to work, but it's hit and miss.

I have mine as bootable and get full speed. I am using a PCIe version.
