Isn't that the SATA Express that is shared with the M.2?
Good question, as soon as I got it, I ran the most extended test there is:possible the HD is faulty in some fashion. Does it pass every diagnostic test/etc?
Are there any firmware upgrades for the drive on the WD site?
What about updating the Intel chipset drivers and ME drivers (i.e.. instead of using the versions from the ASUS website, try the latest from Intel)?
As far as the "how" and "why"... we are all waiting with bated breath to see why its happening. But I can't imagine it has anything to do with the drive being "high end" and "expensive". They all can break or have problems.
I assume your SMART data is reading OK on the drive using the WD Tool?

i had almost exactly this happen with an older board before, it was the cmos battery was dead, new battery fixed it. though being that is a brand new motherboard it "shouldnt" be dead already so idk. does it have a cmos jumper to clear bios? of so make sure its not set to on, that will cause a similar issue in some cases.
Correct. As I just said, that is what I am used to in ASUS BIOS (be it skylake or otherwise). But it accepts my change regardless if it says there isn't one. Along those lines, that specific 'issue' is not a skylake only thing for ASUS. My X99 Asus board also doesn't say anything changed and the boot order change is accepted just fine.After making any changes to screen shot #1 (and doing nothing else) - BIOS specifically says that no changes have been made.
