Hello! I have recently purchased 2 Intel 760p series SSDs and installed them in an X99 system and a Z97 one.

 

I noticed the one in the Z97 system was considerably slower than the one in the X99 (file transfers bottleneck on the Z97 @ around 707MB/s or around 6gbps), and started to investigate, finding out that it can run only at 6Gbps due to chipset limitations. There are 2 solutions, one would be to leave it as it is, the other would be to buy a pci express to m.2 express card. 20-30$ for such a card wouldn't be an issue, but i'm worried about longterm reliability and the ssd reaching it's full potential and not throw money out the window for nothing. If the card fails, would it take the SSD with it ? Or am i just paranoic.
