I have used these AHCI M2 SSD drives, from Kingston, on 2 win 10 boxs and a w7 box. Fast. But not quite as seedy as the latest nVME stuff, but a Sandy Bridge CPU-wera motehrboard can;t support nVME and this is the best alternative. It is around 8-9X faster than a spinning SATA3 HDD in W10 connected to a 6gb/s port, about double that of a conventional SSD connected to the same. But I used this one as boot drive in a 2008 Mac Pro 3.1, which normally uses SATA2 HDD, roughly 100 MB/s transfer rate. I do have a pci-e SATA3 card that mounts two 6 gb/s ssd drives, and that in the version 2 slot on the mac produced about 400. I had to move that assembly from the v2 slot to an even older v 1.1 slot, but it still ran the drives at about double the spinning drive transfer rate. This Kingston, in the slot I took the card out of, initially ran at 1000 MB.s. 10X the speed of a "normal HDD and 2-4X that of the SSDs. Too bad they are out of production. This one, used, cost what they did new 2-3 years ago. And a fair price given the boost they provide.Read full review
