Question 1

Can I use this adapter on any motherboards that have a M.2 slot but are not made by Gigabyte?

Accepted Answer

It probably won't work.  I had the recommended ASUS connector with my Gigabyte mobo, but I couldn't get it to work no matter what.  The only way I could connect my M.2 drive was with this Gigabyte connector (which matched my mobo)

Question 2

Anyone know where to get the cable to connect to the Intel 750 SSD? I am having a very difficult time finding the correct cable  to go with the SSD and this Adapter.

Accepted Answer

Hi Trevin, Yes I understand that. I am looking to see if anyone has an idea of where to get the cable. Yes I did purchase this OEM. Thanks

Question 3

Will this work on other M2 boards that take the adapter? Like the Asus?

Accepted Answer

I got the asus Z170-Deluxe which comes with one of these adapters already. I got this Gigabyte one as a free gift with my Intel 750. But you need to make sure if you are running a board with the M.2 slot in the same lane as a 16x pci-e slot, this adapter WILL prohibit putting a card there as the gfx card will overlap this adapter. The adapter I got from asus is right angled and still I had to shave down the m-SAS clip with as dremel as my 980ti wouldn't clip into its seat.
