You selected a new Asus RAMPAGE V EXTREME EATX X99 motherboard. The motherboard has a header/connector for an M.2 3.0 x 4 ssd. Other than higher cost Is there any reason you are interested in a standard SATA 3 6Gb/s ssd instead of an M.2 3.0 x 4 32Gb/s ssd? I am thinking of the new Samsung SM951.

I normally recommend Samsung solid state drives. They perform exceptionally well and have a proven track record.

I maintain the ssd database listed in a sticky at the very top of this forum section. Here is the link:

Scroll down to the ssd type, brand, and models you are interested in and follow the links to the technical reviews.
