The sample we have at hand is the 1024 GB model. Performance is listed as 3200 MB/s for reads and 1800 MB/sec for writes with roughly 250 IOPS at 4k random writes QD32 aligned disk access with our tested model.  The smallest 256GB version is slower in writes, please refer to that specs on page two on that for more information.

Above, the tested unit; you should easily be able to place the M.2 unit into a compatible motherboard. Most Z97/X99/Z170/Z270/Z370 X299 and for AMD X370 / X470 / X399 boards support 100%. You should, however, check out with the motherboard manufacturer if you have an x4 lane PCIe 3.0 version with NVMe support so that you can benefit from the full available bandwidth and thus performance.
