No it's not. That's an M.2 drive that works perfectly fine with the motherboard he has picked. In fact M.2 drives are faster than regular SSDs that connect through SATA 3.0. http://www.anandtech.com/show/9702/samsung-950-pro-ssd-review-256gb-512gb It's only drawback is that is almost twice the price of a regular SATA SSD.
OT. That's a good build, though it goes beyond your $1000 budget (and it doesn't include an OS). To give you some alternatives, the SSD that Vasto has listed is very good and you won't really notice the difference between that and the M.2 drive. Also, the Hyper 212 is a very good CPU cooler, and a bit cheaper. Oh, another thing I've noticed is about the case you've listed and the max length of the graphics card: 10.94" (278mm) With Drive Cages And that MSI R9 390 is listed as 10.91" (277mm), so it will be very tight. |
I did not know that but that it does have the same shape as the SSDs that go inside ultra thin laptops.
