   Hi.
Will the ASRock X99 OC Formula-3.1 LGA 2011-v3 Intel 
X99 work with this Samsung M.2 drive in the M.2 slot? 
SAMSUNG 950 PRO M.2 512GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4  MZ-V5P512BW
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147467 

I want to be able BOOT FROM IT. 
I will be using either 
Win 8.1/64 or Win 10/64.
Please note, this is the 950, and not the 951 which 
is listed as compatible. I have the drive, but have not purchased the 
Motherboard yet. It looks PERFECT for my needs!  
Thank you very much!

	Bump? LOL FYI, I answered my own question. I did not see a way to contact ASRock, so I Googled it, and got their number. The Gent who answered me seemed very knowledgable and he said this M.2 MONSTER drive will work in it like the 951 that they said would. Also he verified that I will be able to BOOT from it also. I think this will be a KILLER Combo-Mobo!
