I am waiting for the delivery of a Samsung 970 EVO M.2 drive. This is going to be my first experience with M.2 drives, so I'm looking out for pointers or gotchas to look out for.
The drive will be installed into an Asus ROG STRIX H270F Gaming motherboard which has an Intel i5 7500 installed at stock, with 16GB of RAM. I have a PCI-E graphic and sound cards installed too. Will these interfere with the PCI-E lanes in any way?
My main worry is setting up the BIOS correctly for the drive so it can boot from it. After that, drivers will be installed from Samsung's site to allow the drive to perform to it's full potential. Is it this simple, or am I missing anything else out?
