Wondering whether or not if I get a Samsung 950 pro and put it in with a dual card configuration that I will have any issues as far as PCI lanes go with the ssd.

Figured I would ask here about it since M.2 ssd's are a new thing for me.
 
Solution

List the motherboard. Nevermind you already did.
Right off the board page SATA E
The SATA Express port or SATA5 and SATA6 ports will be unavailable when installing a module in the M.2 port.

The samsung drive states being an M.2 Pci-e x4, just would assume that it would end up taking pci lanes.

This is the drive for reference : Samsung 950 pro
