I know that there is an incompatibility between the Samsung Pro 950 and the G752 series. Ive been able to get it to work but with a few issues." grrrrrrrr ... so the very SSD i purchase turns out to be incompatible. drat. however, apparently, there are a couple others that will work: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SM951-256GB-AHCI-MZHPV256HDGL-00000/dp/B00VELD92U http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SM951-512GB-AHCI-MZHPV512HDGL-00000/dp/B00VELDBJ6 so, maybe i'll take a chance. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
