I haven't messed with an m.2 yet, I've got an x99 build planned for this year and was thinking of dropping a 950 EVO in it along with a Corsair Neutron SSD. That PC is going to be a project and a half though, and it's getting mounted on the wall. I really hope the Carbon boards aren't indicative of MSI's future plans with their boards. I REALLY like the styling on the z170s, if I could get an X99 board that looked as good as the M7 I'd be a happy man.

The only thing that's disappointed me about the M7 is those damned green LEDs on the onboard Power/Reset and mini screen. I'd have been happy with white, or red. But green?! *sigh*
