Any, and as long as it can have a os on it, I mean't in term of performance

you can have os on any ssd.

Bumpbuh...strike one. No your OS will not boot of a non uefi compatible motherboard with any top of the line samasung M.2 SSD(xp941/sm951). Pretty sure you can't do it off an intel 750 either unless your motherboard is natively compatible, but I'm not sure this has been tested.

Whats an NVMe Part?

We've been using an AHCI standard for writing information since the dawn of the PC. It's sort of like the qwerty keyboard, designed to slow the process down enough to let the hardware keep up, but then kept around due to inertia. (that's very simplified, but at it's heart true)

 

NVMe is a new standard that let's a SSD run balls to the wall. Some of the drives are achieving 1.5-2GB/s write speeds.

look like only Win 8/8.1 will support out of the box

 

Win 7 will need you to install the NVMe driver

 

older board such as Z87 and X79 may or may not be supported

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Think some of the z97 boards have native support for M.2 drive, especially some of the higher end ASrock boards.
