I'm slowly working towards going towards entirely solid state for my build, so water cooling is much easier in my Phanteks Enthoo Pro. I only have the ability to have three SSDs as I'm removing my drive cages. Two rubber mounted 2.5" trays on the back side panel, and a M.2 SSD on my motherboard. I already boot from a Samsung 850 Evo 120GB.
Long story short, the way M.2 works on the Maximus VII Formula is strange, there is a WiFi MPCIe/M.2 combo card that plugs into the motherboard vertically, but the motherboard armor keeps you from being able to use standard long length M.2 SSDs. Does anybody know about M.2 sizing, and if so, which is the best, largest capacity M.2 SSD that fits that size?
Manual says the combo card supports "socket 3, 2260-type ('M-Keyed') devices" for the M.2 SSDs. I like Samsung, but I'll go with anybody reputable. Thanks again.
