Asus X99 A 2 M.2 Compatibility

[scheak80]

Hello,

I recently purchased the Asus X99 A 2 motherboard and I'm looking to upgrade to M.2. I'm really confused because PC Part Picker says that it does not support 2260 or 2242, but the MOBO specs say otherwise. Also, the supported device list on the Asus site is very short compared to PC Part Picker, so now I'm even more confused. Basically, what are my options for M.2?

Thanks in advance
