This drive is not officially supported by your chosen motherboard. I would avoid intel drives for hacks, here are some posts on other peoples experience:

You need a usb-drive for the installer, doesn't have to be the one I suggested, as long as it is 16GB or more you're fine, although I would make sure it is USB 3.0 as this makes the installation quite a bit faster. It is also recommended to keep this usb-drive, with EFI-folder, as a backup in case your bootloader breaks for some reason or if you ever want/need to reinstall the OS.
