Hello [h]
Im a bit confused as to this whole M2 thing. I'm going to drop a bunch of $ and build a 5960X / Rampage V Extreme to replace my system in my Sig.
For a boot drive, I was planning on going with a SanDisk Extreme Pro 960GB. But then I thought about this whole M2 drive thing. I guess in the X99 they are bootable? But they don't seem to come in 1TB sizes yet.
Is something like a M550 512GB M2 "faster" than a SanDisk Extreme Pro 960GB? I generally only run the OS and 1 or 2 non-steam games from the boot drive so 512 GB would be OK space wise.
Are there different types of M2 drives? If I get one, I want to make sure I get one thats fits in the Rampage V Extreme.
Thanks gents.
