One of the M.2 AHCI SSDs is supported by an a PCIe adaptor card. I have instructed my computer builder to install OmniOS on it. It is not clear if this will mostly just work (other than 10Gbit interfaces) or be an adventure. Look for my previous posting on the illumos-discuss mailing list which was inappropriately entitled Does Illumos support Pentum D?. There were some useful responses based on pre-production samples. The M.2 interface is really interesting since it is based on 4 (or 2 on some boards) channels of PCIe 3.0 and is able to support AHCI or NVME cards without the transfer overhead of SATA. Illumos is not quite there yet for NVME, although a driver has already been going through the review process. In addition to the possible use of M.2 as a boot drive, these cards should work really well as ZFS L2 ARC since the read performance is extremely high.

The slideware I see for Xeon D says, Based on Intel's Robust 10G solution. To me that screams, 82599 or X540. Further review suggests we need to update our ixgbe driver with the latest bits from upstream and Intel. You should ask this question on the illumos developer's list.
