The IBM 750 is the new PCI-E drive (see http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-750-400-Gb-Internal-Solid-State-Drive-Pci-Express-3-0-X4-2-15-Gbps-/331601689668?hash=item4d35003c44)]]> Sat, 22 Aug 2015 22:26:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=681&PID=3163&title=can-i-install-two-pci-based-drives#3163 <![CDATA[Can I install two PCI based drives : gschwemer wrote:I currently...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=681&PID=3131&title=can-i-install-two-pci-based-drives#3131 Author: parsec

IBM 750?

Yes, in theory you should be able to add another drive. Your GPU is meant to run at x16 however it will run fine at x8 (no notable performance loss) and the 2 drives will operate at x4 and x4 giving you a total of 16 lanes used. 

I cannot speak for compatibility with the OS or any potential conflicts but I highly doubt that would be the case. You should be able to add the SM951 without issue.
