Boot from PCI-E SSD

Just wanted to check if this worked here, I know it works on the VII but haven't found anything definitive for this board. Wish to boot OS from PCI-E SSD.

Surprised no answer. No-one with 2013 board has tried booting from pci-e ssd?

Great, and you can boot from it as well? Heard that can be an issue.

Hello

With the drives I listed yes I have used them as boot drives.

As you go through this can you please list the drive you are using and if it booted successfully or not? I am looking at doing this and can't seem to find a list of M.2 or PCIe drives that actually work with this board. Not sure why I would use the only available video slot on this board for an SSD but I am curious.

Ok I think I have found the answer for the card I was looking at, (NVMe) and it is no.

Real pity. Hope ASUS update BIOS but not crossing fingers (there is a poll there though, so vote!).
