Is my Motherboard Compatible with this M.2 SDD

[James Shock]

My motherboard is the Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 and the SDD i want is the Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe High Performance SSD .

Just checked the specification on manufacturer's website and your mobo has 1 x M.2 PCIe connector: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4959#sp

So you could use that SSD on your motherboard.
