Well. As i said before. There are two versions. One add in card, and one 2.5" disk with the very special connector. So i would go for the add in card if your are buying new. I didnt get the 2.5" to work yet. The cables are rare and the M.2 adapter doesnt work. 
Look at the Intel 750. Thats a consumer version of the same disk. Still pretty quick.

I looked at the P3700, looks like a SSD,  but say's pcie interface. 

Do you need a card like you have or a cable to pcie,  never saw this ?  

900.00,  I don't know if that's worth it.

Erhh.. the Intel disk doesnt excist in that size btw. heh. but any ways, normally the bigger the faster. Check out the datasheet for sweetpoint price/speed. Its pretty expencive MBs :) 
Some drives are getting pumped in size now also. So not all devices are faster the bigger they are. Best to read the specs before.

I think I'm in a cave.

Had no clue that these new drives could work the pcie 3.0 16x and use the 30g. 

Thanks Sparx, will look into them.

Not sure exactly what is fastest right now. But either Intel DC-P3700 1.2TB or above. 
Samsung SM1715 in the same size. 
Or Microns latest NVMe, dont remember the name now.

So what is the fastest NVME drive you can show me, thanks, want to check it out.

Also there might be a setting under Advanced, storage,  and under the Sata setting.

Should be M2_1, and have Auto or Force M2 or Force S Sata.  

But your manual say's nothing, I'm going by my Z97 with M2. 

So don't hate me if I'm wrong.

I don't know, LMAO.

Your manual doesn't have it, but it should be under storage, and under your Sata, RAID, settings.

Thanks, I see now it was renamed to U.2.  Sata e, U2, how about we make 50 more interfaces so they can make 50 more drives to sell and make more money by changing them each year when thunderbolt  is out and is better.
