I've seen people on Asus and other forums claiming they were able to get motherboard support for their PCIe M.2 adapter and recognize it and use it as a boot drive. Is anyone experienced with testing this on any other z87 Mobo?

 

Samsung Evo 970 - 500GB

 

Maximus Hero VI

 

People have claiming it working using the Asus Hyper M.2 adapter

 

Thoughts?

I was considering this for my Maximus VI Formula, but never actually went ahead with it...

 

As far as I'd read, others had got it working on the Asus boards using a BIOS mod that took the functionality from the Maximus VII BIOS...

 

Let me know how far you get with it :)

I will only ever answer to the best of my ability - there is absolutely no promises that I will be correct. Or helpful. At all.

I almost went ahead with it a year ago and didn't afraid that it wouldn't work and the tech being so expensive back then I didn't want to be stuck. Now that everything is getting cheaper I may be willing. I'll definitely let you know.
