Hi, I'm going to be purchasing a z97i plus Asus motherboard to use with a 4790k. The motherboard has m.2 compatibility. I've never used m.2 before but I would like to buy an m.2 sad to install the OS on. I understand that the m.2 is compatible with both SATA and PCIE interfaces. I've benn reading a bit about pcie lanes and how they can have an impact on other pcie devices and I'm a bit confused as to what is compatible with the board. I'm going to be using a 1070 gfx card if that makes any difference.
I'd appreciate if somebody can tell me if either of these drives will work with the board.
