Hi:

I´m planing to buy a pc this winter and mount it myself, and the problem is that i took a look at the compatibility list of an Asus H97-PLUS and the ssd that i´m planing to buy doesnt appear!!! What do i need to do? Can i buy a ssd that doesnt appear in the list? Probably yes but i dont know.

Pls help!

What is probably confusing you is this: https://www.asus.com/es/Motherboards/H97PLUS/HelpDesk_QVL/

The "New_SSD_List" isn't a comprehensive list of ALL drives that work with your motherboard, only an update on some of the most recent SSD releases.

If you want to use the m.2 850 EVO your motherboard can run it just fine.

That SSD will work just fine. What you're looking for is that is an M.2 socket SSD, and your motherboard's specs say:

intel® H97 chipset :
1 x M.2 Socket 3, , with M Key, type 2260/2280 storage devices support (both SATA & PCIE mode)*2
6 x puerto(s) SATA 6Gb/s, gris
Compatible con Raid 0, 1, 5, 10
Compatible con Intel® Smart Response Technology, Intel® Rapid Start Technology, Intel® Smart Connect Technology

The M.2 Samsung EVO 850 will fit within your M.2 socket on your Motherboard without any problem.
