That is very good news. It is indeed according to what I read that the SM951 has to be AHCI (i.e. serial starting with MZHPV instead of MZVPV) and not NVMe. Also, I should have mentioned, personally I am only interested in this as a secondary drive, so not being able to boot from it would not be an issue for me.
May I please ask some more questions, I'd appreciate if you could reply:
1. What OSX version are you using?
2. Are you loading some special kext for this to be correctly seen by the system?
3. Any other modifications required on your side (i.e. bios hack, etc)?
4. Are the synthetic test performance figures up to what the drive is advertised, i.e. 2100/1200 read/write?
Thank you, we appreciate your input!

Extremely promising! The direct link such that you don't have to read the entire thread:

Did not test it as I don't have a drive yet, but I would be very curious to find out other people's experience using it (especially on Z97).

As reported earlier on another thread I made. its works amazingly!
This is what Im using; the Samsung SM951 512GB M.2 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe Solid State Drive
(MZVPV512HDGL-00000). It installs fine on a 17,1.

Preliminary testing shows that this driver does in fact enable M.2 NVMe drives to work for boot drive in OS X. Only on CustoMacs with the driver- not on Macs because of the EFI.
