Question about the Asus X99-m WS board with Samsung 950 pro...

Hello there!

I'm looking at getting an Asus x99m-ws board. The issue I'm having is that the m.2 slot operates at 10gb/sec speed and not full 4x / 32gb/sec speed. So I was wondering if I can just buy an adapter and use the Samsung 850 pro drive in a PCIE slot instead?

I've read online that this motherboards' 3rd pcie slot is tied to the m.2 slot and may not operate at full speed.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure you can boot off of that config, so don't worry about that. Wait til next week is over, many new parts are coming out with broadwell-e and pascal in the next three weeks. Expect a 1TB 950 pro, the 950 EVOs, and more u.2 connections on new x99 boards, which are raid 0 compatible. Basically, now is the worst time to buy a new board

thanks for the heads up. I know BWE was around the corner, but I wasn't aware it was so soon!
