MSI Z170A Tomahawk M.2 Support

[The Man Dan]

Does the MSI Z170A Tomahawk (https://allneeds.com.au/msi-z170a-tomahawk-motherboard) support the Intel 600P Series 256GB M.2 SSD (https://allneeds.com.au/intel-600p-series-256gb-m-2-ssd), And if it does I will get the 1570Mb/s max read speed?

Depend entirely to your hardware, M.2 gets 10Gb/s to 32Gb/s from Intel chipset, so in theory the 600P will have 1.200MB/s to 4.000MB/s path, now if vendor has announced the rated R/W ability, it was done with their own hardware, software, and setting, but I do know that M.2 is fast (I use Samsung 950 PRO),
