Like @blueballs said, we need the full specs. ASUS has a lot of X99 motherboards, Samsung has a lot of M.2 SSDs, and they all work together differently.

Quoting my previous answer:

 

I'm going to guess you have an 850 EVO or other SATA-based M.2 drive. None of Asus's X99 boards support SATA M.2 SSDs. They will only support PCI-Express M.2 drives such as the 950 PRO. All is not lost, however, as you can buy an enclosure/adapter that will convert that M.2 into a 2.5" SSD that you can mount in the system.

Wife's build: Amethyst - Ryzen 9 3900X, 32GB G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200, ASUS Prime X570-P, EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 12GB, Corsair Obsidian 750D, Corsair RM1000 (yellow label)

My build: Mira - Ryzen 7 3700X, 32GB EVGA DDR4-3200, ASUS Prime X470-PRO, EVGA RTX 3070 XC3, beQuiet Dark Base 900, EVGA 1000 G6
