Although M.2 drives are much faster on paper and in benchmarks, you're not likely to perceive a difference between one and a good SATA drive. I'd probably suggest something like an 850 EVO.

Thanks for the reply Ecky.

I was hoping to boot from it
System is i7 6 core | GA -X58A-UD5 MB | Dual GV-R685oc-1GD GPU | 24 GB Ram

Bit of a power hungry beast by modern standards. With the M.2 and a new 1070 GPU I could get a few more years out of it.

Your board does not support booting from the NVMe PCI-E 4x drives that are faster than typical SATA drives. You could use a Samsung 950/960 drive with an adapter but only as fast storage. You need a current board with special UEFI support to boot from those drives.

The other non NVMe M2 drives use the same controllers as their SATA counterparts and are the same speed even with the different interface.
