Is it worth getting a M.2 SSD?

Is it worth getting a M.2 SSD? I'm already using up 3 of my PCI slots with two graphics cards in XFire and a WiFi card. Would this make any affect on this, as from what I know it runs off using the PCI bus but i could be wrong.
This is more of a query anyway for future reference if I did ever decide to expand my SSD storage

My mobo is an AsRock 990Fx Killer

The sata versions are still only as fast as a normal sata drive. And the pcie versions are as fast as a pcie SSD.

I don't think your mobo has m.2 ports any way.

It has one between the PCI slots but I've just looked into the M.2 slot a bit more closely and seems mostly a waste of time haha

It seems that the M.2 slot shares use with the eSATA3 port on the rear IO as well which is a bit different
