Nvme PCIE Gen 3 works as expected

Works very well and is affordable. Fully utilized Nvme PCIE Gen 3 SSD speeds. Just note that you most likely won't be able to boot directly from it, and you'll need to create a boot disk if you want to do that. I just used an old flash drive configured with grub2 and connected it to my motherboard 2.0 header with an adapter. Linux wasn't required, just install grub2 on a flash drive via Windows and configure it to point to your efi partition. (This assumes you have a working install and are cloning that to a new drive.) Grub2 is also required, you can set up the flash drive to boot to the bcdboot window, but I've found that this would corrupt the boot drive with a Windows update.
