	Using a Samsung NVMe SM951 SSD with your board will require you to install the 1.60 UEFI/BIOS version: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20990FX%20Killer/?cat=Download&os=BIOS Your board's M.2 port is a PCIe 2.0 x2 interface. The NVMe SM951 requires a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface to operate at its full speed. The performance in your board will be less than one half of its potential. Do you want to use it as your OS drive?

	Hi, I have just purchased a Fatal1ty 990FX Killer series AMD3+ Motherboard. It takes an M.2 sata3 6.0Gb/s and M.2 PCI Express module up to gen 2 x 2 10 Gb/s. However I am having difficulty finding a PCIE. Will the 128 GB Samsung SM951, M.2 PCIe 3.0 (x4) NVMe SSD, MLC NAND work in it. Here is the link https://www.overclockers.co.uk/samsung-sm951-128gb-m.2-pci-e-gen3-8gbps-x-4-ahci-solid-state-drive-mzhpv128hdgm-00000-hd-206-sa.html Thank you in advance
