I was looking at maybe trying an M.2 drive and wanted to see if its worth it

I currently have a 240Gb Crucial SSD that is working great but was going to try and add a 128Gb M.2 SSD if it is indeed worth it for the 10Gb/s
 
Honestly, if you're simply looking to add another drive, do something else.

If you are looking to replace your existing SSD as your boot drive, go with something larger.
 
You're comparing apples and oranges.

M.2 is just a connector type. You can have an M.2 SATA SSD that gives no benefits over a 2.5" SSD aside from form factor. Instead, you'll want look at PCIe vs. SATA.

If this is for gaming only most likely the 10Gb/s M2 drive will not make a large enough difference for you to notice especially a 128GB drive.
 
It's totally dependant on the drive you buy. The PCI-E interface is much faster, but if the drive's max speed is 200MB/s you're not going to see a difference. I recently went from a Samsung 840 PRO to a Samsung PM951 NVMe drive which is 4x as fast, the difference is noticeable, but the interface is not the single defining characteristic.
