Hello. Im thinking of buying m.2 ssd. I have asus maximus vii hero motherboard and it has an m.2 slot. So I just wanted to ask does this motherboard support all gen 3 ssd. Im specifically thinking of buying samsung 970 pro or samsung 980. Will this motherboard support both of these. Also if you can suggest good ssds that would great...THANKS...

I want to use it for operating system. Im using windows 10. Right now i have samsung 850 evo(windows) and wd blue 1 tb NVMe support on the Z97 era boards was spotty.
Leave the OS on the current 850 EVO.
Unlikely you can use an NVMe in a slot adapter. And even if you can, you won't see any real difference.

The M.2 port is only PCI-E 2.0 x2.
Bringing any drive in that to no better than a 2.5" SATA III SSD.
And NOT guaranteed to be able to boot from it.

I was referring to what type of m.2 to shop for.

Yup that's the speed of the slot. And likely turns of one or more SATA ports on the motherboard.
And a 970 EVO Plus in that port would be no faster than a typical SATA III SSD.

No benefit for the extra cost.

True again but the OP is asking about a m.2 not a 2.5.

Right.
And while it would work, it is extra money for no gain.

I have seen few videos where people are using pcie adapters and using 970 with full speeds. Do you think that its a good idea.

As a secondary drive, sure.
In my previous Z97 board, I had my Intel 660p as a secondary drive.
Worked just fine.
What other drives are in this system, and what is the OS on now?
