Unless you're doing content creation or moving around large files a lot, I don't think m.2 is worth it for you. Even a 960 pro isn't much faster than an 850 evo when it comes to boot up times and app launch times.

850 PRO/EVO, MX300, SU800, X400 are the ones I've used and can recommend.

i looked at that but will my MB support it as its a (B+M)

MB specs
2 x M.2 Socket 3, with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (SATA mode & X4 PCIE mode)

I can't think of a single instance where I gave AF about SSD color since it's a part I never look at when using my PC. If red and black is a must, your choice is basically Sandisk.

Just do a non oem style Samsung drive like everyone else since it's black. Red and black specifically is a bit too picky for storage.

Get an 850 pro 2.5" ssd.  it has a gorgeous red/black/silver color schema and is one of the fastest SATA ssds

A SATA m.2 drive would work too of course.

Why not just get a SATA SSD like the 850 evo or SanDisk SSD Plus? They'll fit in nicely and won't be any worse for loading games or booting up the OS.
