Hi,

I have a gigabyte motherboard GA-B150M-DS3H rev 2 which has this m.2 SSD slot on the motherboard.I am getting a kingston SM2280S3G2/120G m.2 SSD drive for cheap but i am not sure will it be supporting my motherboard. I have checked gigabyte m.2 support list but this model number is not there at all. it shows 480gb SSD drive. what speed will it provide. Is this SSD faster then SATA SSD drive. Whats the performance and speed it will provide in terms of read & write capabilities.
