You mean the M.2 version? If so, you can't, not without additional hardware anyway. The Z87X-UD3H does not have a M.2 slot onboard.

I would also recommend you upgrade the motherboard BIOS to at least F8.

M.2 NVMe (PCI3x2 or PCI3x4) only work on Z97 or newer boards. If you can scrounge up a samsung or other NVMe (AHCI) m.2 drive, it should work. NO new M.2 drives that I am aware of support AHCI. Known good drives for your use:

• Samsung SM951 M.2 PCIe AHCI
• Samsung XP941 M.2 PCIe AHCI SSD
• Intel 530 Series M.2 SATA SSD
• Plextor M6e SSD
• Kingston Technology Kingston HyperX Predator PCIe M.2 SSD
• Or left over Mac AHCI drive in a OWC PCI card

You can, if you mod your bios to support NVME drives.

BIOS modding is tricky, but your board should as well have DualBios so it is pretty save.

Got a 970 EVO 500GB on my Z87XOC as boot drive with a PCIe x4 to M.2 adapter.

Suggestion: Samsung 860 EVO/SATA, noticeable performance improvement
Amazon.com: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD
