Question 1

Is the AIC half- or full-height?

Accepted Answer

It comes with both full and half height brackets; also be sure you are installing it in a gen3 PCIE slot if you want the full speed; it will work in gen2, but at slightly lower speeds.

Question 2

Would this work under Windows 7?  Sorry, but I'm just not on the whole Windows 10 "we're gonna watch everything you do" bandwagon yet...

Accepted Answer

It will work under Win7. Drivers are aviable on OCZ-Website.
Be sure using a PCIex Slot not shared (recommended) with GPU and for full speed PCIex V3 (not aviable on AMD until Razr-CPU and MB will be sold).
It will not be bootable when UEFI Bios does not support it. On some MB are M.2 slots mounted. Check your Board before buy without PCIex-card.

Question 3

Will this work with an ASUS Z87-A motherboard?

Accepted Answer

As long as your bios is programmed to recognize NVMe drives, it should work just fine as a booting device.  You can always email ASUS Tech Support and ask them about your bios recognizing NVMe drives.  At a minimum, if your bios does not support NVMe drives, it can be used as a 'storage drive' if you are using Windows 10.  I believe other OS's need a driver to be installed first.

Question 4

I have a X79 Extreme9 and 3930k will I be able to run this ssd?

Accepted Answer

This Item can (depends on type you choose) include a pci-express Slot-adapter and should work an every Mainboard with PCI-Express 3.0  16x and 4x Slot. But check before purchase if the slot you might use is not shared with other slots on PCI-Lanes. The SSD works as well on PCI-EXPRESS 2.0, but with lower data rates. It will not work as Boot-Partition when the UEFI-Bios Is not designed to boot from PCIex,  because driver is needed.

Question 5

Would this fit and work in a razer blade laptop?

Accepted Answer

I doubt the card will; however if it has a m.2 slot the ssd drive itself will, but then you can find the ssd portion by itself on newegg for far less money.
