Just Checking: Will a Samsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E250BW) SSD work on my Z77 Motherboard if i get a NVME to PCI-E adapter?

Work as a drive, absolutely.
work as as in be boot-able, highly doubtful.
There are attempts at a workaround like Clover, but I have yet to get it running

Whats stopping you from going with a traditional STA 3 2.5" SSD? You're not going to be able to boot off an NVMe drive. Further reading.

An mSATA drive is just a SATA III drive in a different package.
Exactly the same speed as a regular 2.5" package drive.

Unless you get a real crap one, any and all of the good SATA III (2.5" or mSATA) are all within a few percent of each other in performance.

Samsung 850EVO is the default choice.
