Okay that's it for me, no more news items in the early morning before I had my coffee ... 🤓

Hang on, I thought NVMe needed a new connection!???
Will this just connect to any current M.2 connection that uses PCIe 3.0 and work? (I know some use SATA like the mSATA connections).

Oh hell yes, this is what I've been waiting for.
Hopefully they will have a 2TB version out by the time Kaby Lake and pascal come out and I can go nuts.

Starting to like these prices..Would surely suit my next upgrade. C'mon 2016 , I want an upgrade! Pascal,Skylake-E or whatever other lake there will be, can't wait.

I was hoping for a 1TB version on release. Lame. The wait continues.

I've sworn never to buy Samsung products but it's hard to resist with products like that. I may just buy that Intel 750 along with an asus hyper kit. Would love to see some comparative benchmarks!

Aside from the purchase price, you need to also buy a Skylake system if you want full speeds on M.2. Older M.2 slots do not have the PCIe lane allocation to support the specifications of this product. DMI 3.0 is one of the very few bonuses that come with the Skylake Platform. And with Skylake comes that DDR4 at CAS15 to save a tiny trickle of power.

This would work with my Asus z97 deluxe? What about sli 980ti that runs in 8x would that be affected by this ssd? Never used an m2 ssd.
