Can anyone please check and verify is the newest Samsung SSD 960 EVO NVMe M.ii 500GB compatible with the motherboard Asus LGA1150 Z97 MAXIMUS Vii HERO?

I tried comparing the specifications but i am not familiar with tech so i don't want to make an expensive error.

Thank y'all very much for helping me out.

All of this NVMe M.2 stuff is new plenty to me, and I skipped the Haswell and refresh chipsets.

But looking at the Z97 Maximus VII Hero specs , it seems very likely that the lath provides the proper One thousand.2 "G"-key slot, 2280 storage device.

I retrieve you accept two ways to do this. either use the motherboard'south own One thousand.2 slot, and share bandwidth with probably 2 SATA ports, or get an M.2 NVMe PCIE x4 expansion card, and put the drive in a proper PCIE five.three.0 expansion slot with at least x4 lanes. However, the third and bottom x16-length slot providing x4 bandwidth is merely a PCIE 5.two.0 slot. So, doing it that way, you'd have to forego any SLI or CF configuration, your PCIE-x16 #1 slot'south bachelor lanes would drop to x8 with probably a i% reduction in graphics performance, and you would employ the PCIE-x16 #2 slot for the NVMe expansion card and 960 EVO.

I shouldn't exist the terminal word on this, and I'd probably desire to put in a support ticket with ASUS and get their confirmation. They would probably recommend, as would I, that you should update your BIOS for the Z97 lath.

Tin anyone please check and verify is the newest Samsung SSD 960 EVO NVMe M.ii 500GB uniform with the motherboard Asus LGA1150 Z97 MAXIMUS Vii HERO?

I tried comparing the specifications only i am not familiar with tech so i don't want to make an expensive mistake.

Thanks very much for helping me out.

The web site description for that lath says there is an M2 socket on the board.

"1 x M.ii Socket three, blackness, with M Key, type 2260/2280 storage devices support (PCIE mode)".

The clarification also lists several PCIe lanes (electrical connections) which the MAXIMUS VII HERO tin can use to back up the M2, as follows:

"two ten PCIe three.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8, ruby-red)
i x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 manner, black) *i"

So yes, the lath is uniform.

The description too lists several PCIe lanes (electrical connections) which the MAXIMUS VII HERO tin can use to support the M2, as follows:

"ii ten PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8, red)
1 x PCIe two.0 x16 (x4 manner, blackness) *1"

And so yes, the lath is compatible.

See generally

Sure, the lath is compatible. It has a PCI-east enabled 1000.2 slot with the correct keying and information technology has NVM-east support.

What you left out is the fact that the Thousand.ii slot is but PCI-e 2x 2.0 enabled, leaving the maximum theoretical throughput at one,250 MB/s, FAR below the ratings for sequential and high queue depth randoms for the 960 EVO.

The drive will exist severely bottlenecked, unless you desire to get a riser menu and put it in the 2d PCI-east 16x 3.0 slot to get a total 4x 3.0 lanes.

If his graphics expectations are modest in some price/performance ratio, he could get one good stiff graphics card for the organization, overclock information technology, and use the PCIE-x16_2 slot for his NVMe Chiliad.two. Personally, I have a GTX 1070 "OC Mini" that I've still to test with 2560x1440 and 144Hz. Merely my all-time understanding of the slot allotment suggests a i% reject in graphics operation going from x16 to x8.

What y'all left out is the fact that the K.two slot is just PCI-due east 2x two.0 enabled, leaving the maximum theoretical throughput at 1,250 MB/due south, FAR below the ratings for sequential and loftier queue depth randoms for the 960 EVO.

The drive will be severely bottlenecked, unless you want to go a riser card and put it in the second PCI-e 16x 3.0 slot to go a full 4x 3.0 lanes.

OK that is a MB limit I did not see in the materials or FAQ. Thx for the description. If the OP has bought the M2 ssd, and then he might return it for a sata drive or purchase the PCIe adapter, as you and the Duck advise. Ordinarily a discrete gpu uses 1 of the ruby x16 expansion slots so running the adapter in the other cherry slot will provide 8 lanes and lots of bandwidth.
About returning the bulldoze ? No. Installing the M2 drive in the M2 slot volition withal give better operation than returning the bulldoze for a sata drive.

OK that is a MB limit I did not run across in the materials or FAQ. Thx for the clarification. If the OP has bought the M2 ssd, and so he might return information technology for a sata bulldoze or purchase the PCIe adapter, as you and the Duck suggest. Usually a discrete gpu uses one of the red x16 expansion slots then running the adapter in the other red slot will provide 8 lanes and lots of bandwidth.
About returning the drive ? No. Installing the M2 drive in the M2 slot will still give better performance than returning the drive for a sata drive.

I am new hither and I wish to solve my SSD problem on my Asus Z97 Seven Hero! I had bought Plextor PX-G1256M6E 256GB when this engineering science first started on my motherboard and afterward 4 days period of time, since in my Bios secure erase recognized my Plextor SSD M.ii later on and then it did non recognized it anymore simply as I log in to Windows system explorer to find my hard drive it was showing! I had to change Windows operating organisation to some other SSD hard drive. I was worried that I might confront a lot of errors during the system is working!

This is the fact since SSD cards Thousand.ii was evolving in these past 3 years or and so there have been many changes technology out there. This has passed nearly 2 years since then, at that the aforementioned time I was in contact with Plextor support company as they where very friendly and they said to me... "Please be informed if your drive is not recognized in BIOS there will be no possibility to update firmware on that drive. When drive is not visible in BIOS could exist that drive is broken if yep please return it to your dealer for warranty. Delight practise not hesitate to contact us. Thank you lot."... At present I am considering to get a new M.2 SSD hard drive equally I was looking to 1 of your latest comments.

I accept 2 MSI Graphic cards installed 1 on [PCIE_X16/X8_1] and 2 on [PCIE_X8_2] all in the red slots of the motherboard and a USB3.0PCI-Express Card on [PCIEX1_1] correct now at this moment.

When I get the new M.2 SSD slot card and put it in the motherboard socket Thou.2 SATA. USB3.0PCI-Express Carte du jour it will be disabled automatically [PCIEX1_1].

[Thousand.2 Mode]: PCIeX4_3 slots runs at two mode for more bachelor of M.2 connector. (PCIeX1_1/ii/3 are disabled)

When you place the Thou.2 SSD in the slot of One thousand.2 socket of the motherboard it does not brand whatsoever difference less or high performance! Because this volition disable all other (PCIeX1_1/2/3 are disabled) and there is nothing to exercise with Graphic cards functioning besides they are automatically enabled from the motherboard itself. Information technology depends on the performance of the new high generations out there of Thou.2 SSD's adapters on it self of their high chapters!

I have made some research compability near 1 of the new generation Engineering science of the K.ii Samsung SSD out there of 512GB Samsung 960 Pro, K.2 PCIe NVMe, 48 Layer V-NAND, 3500MB/due south Read, 2100MB/s, 330K/330K IOPS, 400TBW

When you place the Yard.2 SSD in the slot of Yard.ii socket of the motherboard information technology does not make any difference less or high performance! Because this volition disable all other (PCIeX1_1/2/iii are disabled) and there is nil to do with Graphic cards operation too they are automatically enabled from the motherboard itself. Information technology depends on the performance of the new high generations out there of Yard.2 SSD's adapters on information technology self of their loftier capacity!

I concur. The two dGPUs are installed in the scarlet slots and their functioning should be unaffected when yous install an M2 SSD. Every bit you note yous will lose the use of the USB3.

This is why people go confuse when you lot buy a motherboard you lot accept to read all the manuals that information technology came with your motherboard after y'all estimate! Because if y'all done something wrong you've had it. I advise people who purchase should read the manuals first! Components of your motherboard sits in that location not for nothing because there is a utilize for information technology and has to comply and specified with your motherboard! The motherboard has information technology'due south own commands! When a component sits there has to comply with the motherboard with it's own command! That'southward why in that location is "enabled" or "disabled" and other commands!
