I'm going to be picking up an eVGA X99 Micro pretty soon, but I'm having a bit of a hard time from looking at pictures of the motherboard with figuring out which M.2 ssd's will actually fit on the motherboard. If anyone has any links to M.2 ssd's that'll work, please don't hesistate to reply and post them. Thanks in advance.

    This Samsung XP941 512GB PCIe x4 M.2 is for me best option if someone have money.
    Better than suffer with cables on SATA Express, but it's to expensive for me for now...
    I would look such devices in future for OS. 
    Price will drop 100% and offer grow...

    Actually on the Micro x99, the M.2 is keyed E, which as far as I know has no SSDs available for it. Key E would be for wifi and bluetooth cards mostly. The Classified has one that's key E, and one key M, for which there are M.2 SSDs available. From what I have seen the drives tend to not list the key on sites like Newegg, but you can see it from their images if you know what the keys look like.
    Example (E on top, B on bottom):
     
     
      
    You can see here: http://www.ramcity.com.au/blog/m.2-ngff-ssd-compatibility-list/189 more examples of the different keys as well as a bit more information about M.2.

    and I stand corrected. I thought he was talking about the classy for some reason. I didn't think the micro had m.2 spot.
