I have an ASRock Fata1ty z97 mobo and I was looking for a M.2 drive as my OS drive. However for my case I have a side panel window and all the m.2 drives I have seen are green pcbs and would look out of place. Do any of you fine folk know of a m.2 drive with a black pcb?

Do you play football/soccer?


Cause you look like a left-back

On amazon.com the 950 pro is cheaper, faster and allot better performance per dollar than the hyper X predator.

If you want cheap fast storage just get an 850 evo.
