Can you share some light on what weird issues you got.
If i am not mistaken the M2 port is shared....maybe you have all the SATA ports already taken
Check you MB manual.

Yanked this from google
The solution that I got to work is as follows:
- Disable CSM / UEFI
- Enable Secure Boot
- Now the installer can access the NVME SSD
- Format the drive
- Restart the machine
- Enable CSM / UEFI
- Disable Secure Boot
- Proceed to installer and now Windows will allow you to install to the NVME SSD drive

well - i don''t exactly remember, but i could not install windows, and with this NVMe drive connected, i think it did not see a sata drive - and saw it when the NVME was removed
but i'll test again !
but i'll test again !
+ Latest BIOS
+ Intel RSL 14.5
Asus have only approved the Evo 850 1TB or the 256GB M.2 SSDs in their QVL
NVMe really needs the manufacturer's full support in UEFI/AHCI although if you're feeling adventurous you can add support by hacking the firmware!

Just remove the drive in the shared sata port...and leave only the NVME..

Masq - i updated an hour ago to latest bios
do you mean to enable intel RSL in the bios, or what?
the drive is 250 GB - 960 model that's why i ask the Q
on the net i found people saying it takes all the bandwith - and the drive is not intended to work with this board
john - that's what i tried at first - when i got problems, then i conncted the sata one, to see what happens
i will retest with the NVMe drive tomorrow

The Intel RSL driver will need to be installed in Windows if you are running as SATA AHCI
