Hi! I have a Asus Maximus Impact VI MOBO that has a m.2 slot as previously mentioned. I was going to order the Crucial M550 to save space in my ITX-build. But..is it bootable? I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere or test results? Very annoying because it’s been on the market for a while know. Will I get the speed results that crucial lists? ( 550/500/MBPs)

Thanks in advance

In reply to Les@TheSSDReview. They are not bootable with adapter only. The m6e comes with a SSD and adapter combinations and, as well, the new Z97 motherboards are coming with native M.2 bootable connectors.

The Samsung XP 941 only have the 1 ‘Notch’ version, found on ramcity.

So then it appears the Ativ Book 9 Plus NP940X3G is ONLY M.2 SATA 3

I see the Plextor M6e is a 2 ‘notch’ PCIe… would it work?
