What do I need and how do I do it?

[bloodiedathame]

I want to put an m2 drive in my machine (it's a 5820k on an Asus X99 Pro) and use it as the boot drive.

Asus website says the board has '2 x M.2 Socket 3, , , with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (Support PCIE SSD only)'

Will this do the job?: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wd-b...-solid-state-drive-wds100t3x0c-hd-55v-wd.html

Or is there something better I should be looking at? 1TB should be fine for size.

AND NEXT QUESTION!

What's the best programme to clone my current boot drive to it?

This is better value for money not as fast but you won't notice the diffrence.

Cloning - Macriun Reflect is one of the best free software.

+1 for both. The SN550 is a good bang for buck drive.
