M2 for M7F?

So i getting ready to (finally) order my maximus 7 formula, and was wondering what to do about a SSD drive for it.
I really wanted the SAMSUNG XP941 M.2 but it looks like it won't be worth it because of the limitations of the board. Would it be worth running it in a PCI adapter? or should i just say to hell with it and get an 850 evo pro?

Any help appreciated

I have the xp941

hmmn? unless money is no object I think I'd rather have a 128 ssd + hard drives for storage
use the excess cash for video cards -- that's the way to go ?
does anyone need 256GB SSD? suppose if you had multiple OP's + games it might !

volts, i use 256GB SSD +****loads of HDD for storage. Just want a little more speed, and of course to free up a sata port 🙂

I know that the Max Hero is supposed to work great, but is still cant seem to find out for sure if i can use the Samsung xp941 will fit/work on the Max 7 Form.

Thanks again

Yeah, It won't fit that weird slot they used on the formula 😞

I'm actually leaning towards the rampage V Extreme now 🙂
