Hi to everyone, and thanks to everyone to help me figure this out. I finish install windows 8 Pro in this form factor SSD and it works like a charm, but in device manager there is this exclamation sign and I google it and tells me some about my video driver which I know my video drivers are fine from one way and the other I know it can't be video driver cause it says 8086= intel, so my video cards are Nvidia. So my quess it could be the driver of the Samsung M.2 card cause I have the card mount on the PCI-e extension card that came with my motherboard. So anybody could have any idea what this could be, thanks in advance guys!

I have another question on the SSD drive describe above. What tool should I use in the future to " Secure Erase" this kind of SSD, now that I read not to use Part magic to secure erase, cause can damage the SSD and the Samsung Tool box wont recognize the SSD. TIA guys.

Hi.

Can I boot from a PCIe SSD like Samsung XP941 in x79 Deluxe including the Samsung_m2_dxe in bios?

With an M.2 Adaptor to 4x PCIe?

Plextor m6e has a M.2 Adaptor and is Legacy & UEFI Boot (UEFI bios inside)

XP941 Bootable in Asus P8Z68

Another site and config.... booting in 3 seconds (2500k)

m.2 boot

I also tried to catch up with this new wave, at least in theory. Among other, these links have been useful: ROG and RAMCITY.

XP941 is not bootable, so you need the BIOS to support PCIe boot. You can wait long and hard for manufacturers, or you can do it on your own like juantrix posted. I think it should be fairly harmless, only a flash failure could be a problem.

Maybe there is some redirect in the forum? For me, the link points to the page explaining the difference between technologies, at the basic-basic level.

Hello
Fernando, have you check or notice the percentage of degradation of your Samsung XP941-M.2 Pci-e SSD, and if you have, I ask it's also like mine and some other owner in other forum posted that checked the M.2 with Cristal disk info and shows 91 and 92% in the live left of the driver, it is normal this readings I just bought this card from a second hand person at fley and he had it posted as new, but I have seen other that bought it from some other source popular site and also as well they have the same percentage of degradation on the drive, are you aware of this or now any reason of this.

This is my most recent Cristal disk info:
