Storage was the least priority for me when building a pc but when I finally got my first SSD which is an OCZ Arc 100, everthing was real fast. I am now exploring more about SSD's and I am eyeing on to get an M.2 SSD since I am planning to build a mini ITX system. I've searched for those affordable M.2 SSD's and found this. BIOSTAR M200 http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/biostar-launches-m200-series-m-2-ssd.html At $54 for the 120Gb variant, it's the most affordable I could find. Would like to hear your thoughts about it. Is the price worth it or there something better that could match the price? Thank you.

Please check the protocols supported by your mainboard. M.2 ist just the "physical" connector. M.2 SSDs can either run in SATA-Mode or PCIe NVMe Mode. Thats the "protocol". The connector on the mainboard and the SSD must support the same mode to work properly.
