I have an older server that meets our needs cpu wise but I need to upgrade the storage.

My question is if I use an AIC card such as the intel 750 will I be able to use it as a data drive?

It is my understanding that I probably will not be able to boot from it but otherwise it would still work as data.

MB in question is the supermicro x9dr7-tf+ https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/xeon/c600/x9dr7-tf_.cfm

Yep. The card is usable in just about any board with a PCIe slot if you don't care about booting.
 
I imagine would work fine as a "legacy" storage controller. If it's uefi only (for some reason), you might have a problem.
 
The Samsung 950 Pro's might work as a boot drive. The controller supports booting with a legacy BIOS. I have one running on my 6 year old Rampage III Gene X58 system as my primary boot drive. Just plugged it in via a cheap $5 adapter from eBay.

I only say "might" because there's no way to know for sure until you try it. At the very least you'll be able to use it as a storage drive though.
