Thanks to everyone for all your help. But I've got to punt! I think I have a bad chip or my motherboard's M.2 slot is defective. There was an awful smell yesterday coming from my case. Pulled the plug from the back as fast as I could. You know that feeling when your heart is about to explode. You're thinking OMG, I'm frying something expensive! The 960 M.2 Pro was hot. Pulled it, it smelled really bad. I think it is indeed cooked. What ever happened, I have no clue. But I know I am done with M.2 for now. I will wait until M.2 is as plug and play as SATA. Just not worth it to me. A $350 hard lesson learned. I paid more for that tiny chip than I did my motherboard. 
 
I'll stick with the 2.5 SATA drives. I have 4 Samsung SSD's from the 830 Series to the 850 Pro series. Love them! Easy plug and play configurations as an SSD should be.
 
Thanks again for all your help gentlemen!
