Ugh, well I just installed my Samsung 950 Pro 256GB into my ASROCK X99 Extreme4 aswell.
It was NOT detected in the BIOS under storage but however was in the "BOOT OPTIONS" for some reason.
Of course, when I booted off my USB external CD/DVD drive and launched Windows 8, it was NOT detected there either.
I followed the instructions off that youtube video and managed to atleast install Windows 8 on the M.2 Samsung 950 using the USB Windows 8 UEFI per the video and disabling the CSM option in BIOS and deleting the boot keys.
The m.2 samsung 950 is still not showing up in BIOS though. I even installed the Samsung 950 PRO driver off the samsung website, but that seem to do literally nothing ( what does it even do?) Can anyone explain why does CSM need to be disabled and what does deleting the secure boot keys do?
I had some buggy stuff too happen where I went to power down the PC after installing Windows 8 on the M.2 drive and the screen went black and never powered down. And upon booting up i had some visual glitches (LAN icon got duplciated bottom left):
