** SAMSUNG M.2 PCI-E Super-Fast AHCI & NVME SSD's IN STOCK (ELITE TIER SSD's)!! **

For reference, I personally have a 126gb boot drive at the moment and it has 65gb left over after installing general stuff like programs, so as long as you don't go crazy with games you will be fine :)

Also, as Stulid said, I'd rather get the 256gb variant because it's good value for money and allows you to have more than a couple of games on it... Or more than 0.8 GTAs :p
 
Have you approached kingston about selling their adapter separately? I don't know if it'll work with the SM951, but if you find one i'd be interested in buying it (an achi version, i dont think x79 supports nvme).
 
Can 100% confirm the SM951 boots in a Asus Hyper adapter on my Z97 board. Just abit pricey and seem abit harder to find but they are black which fits builds a lot better than the green ones.
 
I was running win 10 and most of creative cloud on a 60gig drive, 128 should be more than enough for running your OS.

Most X99 boards support full NVME, unless you've got Gigabyte as most if not all their x99 motherboards don't provide 4x PCIe 3gen and use PCIe 2nd gen on their M.2 slots iirc. The full ones offer 32GB/s if you want the max speed from them. I think the GB boards only provide 10GB/s though double check the spec on the board you have or are thinking of buying.
 
Would the SM951 run at full speed on a MSI Z97 Max AC? Getting confused with some of the info on my motherboard spec sheet.

It does say supports up to 10GB/s but just checking encase they mean Gb/s.
