I think you're out of luck. The Crucial SSD you link to there has the "'M' & 'B' key" type of M.2 connector. The Fatal1ty H97 Killer uses the "'M' key" type connector.

According to https://www.ramcity.com.au/blog/m.2-ngff-ssd-compatibility-list/189" rel="nofollow - the site where I got my M.2 drive from, the drives that currently work with your motherboard are the Samsung XP941 and the SM951. If you wait a few weeks though, the new versions of the SM951 will become widely available, under the branding "950 Pro". These use NVMe rather than AHCI as their host interface, but are otherwise identical hardware to the SM951.
