I'm looking for small SSD as my boot drive. Want Black PCD, simply because of aestetics. No need in super-fast speed: my board have a "slow" m.2 slot: "This motherboard features the M.2 slot which shares bandwidth with the SATA 6Gb/s port and PCI-E Gen2 x2 and is dedicated only to the operating system" - I guess I'm limited to 6gbps speeds. There's a way to test actual performance, but I'm quite lazy now.
Anyways: Small, reliable and black m.2 ssd. Speed doesn't matter. Any ideas?

Can only think of the samsung 960 pro, one of the more expensive ones. Probably all the affordable ones will use green pcb.

Western Digital actually uses a blue PCB on their M.2 drives, better than green but still not black.

I'm somewhat in the same boat as kovyrshin, black PCB M.2 SATA based drives just don't seem to exist.

I'm color blind, so I'm not actually sure what color this is, but it is dark.
