The VIII Hero supports PCI-e aswell as SATA M.2 M-KEY solid state modules.
The 950 Pro will work :)

hi everyone

 

I own the ASUS ROG Hero VIII board, and I believe it supports both SATA and PCIe m.2 storage. 

 

Can someone confirm this for me, and that also this will work with it?

Yep, it has an M.2 slot

 

It's a good, but expensive MOBO. If you really need all the features that it provides, its a great choice.
