according to pudgetsystem commnets:
That's what I thought to be the case but that wasn't how it turned out. Windows installed and booted just fine in the M.2 slot. It would install, but it wouldn't boot in the PCIe adapter though and I'm not sure why.
Intel dc p3500 can not be preorder anywhere. There was 1 website accepting preorder but now they stop and say they will remove the drive from their database. So maybe the p3500 won't be out for another 6 months. That is too long. Just use the sm951 for now.
The P3700 is already out, just not to consumers. Several next-gen native PCIe controllers are getting ready to launch (most notably OCZ's new JetExpress) so if Intel hopes to stake their place in the enthusiast SSD space again like they did with the X25 they'll need to release the P3500 in the near future.
Even if Intel doesn't release the P3500 for 6 months, I can't boot to the SM951 and use it at full speed so it does me no good which is why I sold it (not to mention the NVMe issue).
It has spoiled me though, Sata drives seem so mundane now
