[SOLVED] Can I boot from 970 EVO PCI-e on this pc?

[mscir]

How can I determine if the 970 Evo will work on my Essentio CM6730?
It has these pcie slots
2 x PCI-e x 1
1 x PCI-e x 16
Is that sufficient for the SSD speeds?
Are there options I need to be able to configure in the BIOS?
I've never considered a pci-e SSD before.

You can install it on PCIE to M.2 adapter - but it can not be used as boot disk.
You'll have to put bootloader on a different drive.

Thanks rgd1101 and SkyNetRising, I appreciate the help. I'll wait until I get a newer machine.
