And with one of these PCIe adapters, you could use these drives in an older motherboard.. and get full speed from what it looks like. Link to DT-120 adapter removed as I can't post them yet.
Yes, you can get full speed so long as it is installed in at least a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot. You'll get close to top speed in a PCIe 1.0 x8 slot too. Be aware that you can't boot the XP941 SSD in a standard PC with the Lycom DT-120 adapter though. It's only some of the new Z97 motherboards with a compatible M.2 socket in which booting is supported. Rod

Hi Rod, I'm hoping you can help me. I have a ASUS Z97-WS with a M.2 mSATA/mPCIe NGFF slot. It has the M.2 Socket 3. Will the Samsung XP941 256gb M.2 work at full bandwith and can I use it as a boot drive? This is ASUS web page info on the socket:
With two native PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 10Gbit/s data-transfer speeds. It is the perfect choice for an operating system drive, making your whole PC work that much faster. It supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology to ensure even faster access to data, refresh applications automatically and awake from sleep in just seconds
The manual says this:
1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M Key, type 2260/2280 storage devices support (both SATA & PCIE mode)
