    As of 22/3/2016 the fastest M.2 SSD is the Samsung 950 Pro NVMe SSD in either 256 GB or 512 GB capacities. Those are plugged into a M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 port, with connectivity of up to 32 GB/s, and this SSD can reach a theoretical speed of 2500 MB/s Read and 1500 MB/s Write. They are also the fastest SSD you can get for the price. *Edit: By connectivity i mean bandwidth.

    Feynstein 100 a form factor is just a physical spec, shows where and how pins have to be in order for things to fit together and connect physically. An interface has the physical spec and also specifies what is needed to transmit data, like specific pinouts, clock speeds, and stuff

    Rusty Rivet Absolute bollox, sata power connectors are the worst thing ever, they are thin and cheap and they brake easily, they should have made a more robust connector for HDD power like a small square block. sata power connectors cannot handle the stress and weight of cables especially if you unplug frequently and move things around a lot. molex power cables are much more sturdy and don't brake.

    first of all, check your motherboard's compatibility with the m.2 bandwith. Newer versions of motherboard like z170 and x99 have support to pcie 3.0 x4. Some older versions like 1150 chipset motherboards will only have pcie 2.0 x2 m.2 support. so that means if you buy the top of the line m.2 ssd like samsung 950 pro (that supports pcie 3.0 x4) but you have an old motherboard that only support 2.0 x2 (10 gbit/s) you won't be taking the full advantage and will be having only slightly better performance than a regular sata 3 ssd speed. If you let me know your motherboard, I might be able to help you out finding a good m.2 ssd for your rig.

    I wonder if "DPC Latency" is any better for M.2 compared to SATA 3 and/or SATA 2. I haven't seen any benchmark comparisons on the subject so would be interesting to see the results. I'd test under idle loads as well as some controlled keyboard input i/o macro based workloads since keyboard/mouse input is known to cause noticeable "DPC latency" micro stuttering latency spikes.
