Any new M.2 (Sata) Drives coming soon?

I just recently got a nice refurb Asus Zenbook (UX31LA-UH51T) and I want to upgrade the SSD in it. It uses a 60mm M.2 (SATA) drive. Currently the best choice out there known to work is the Transcend MTS600 series drives, and I'm looking at the 512GB. Just wondering if there are any new M.2 SATA interface drives on the horizon soon? (850 EVO?).

Unfortunately it's somewhat of an oddball drive in that it is an odd size (60mm) and needs SATA interface even though it's M.2 form factor. I need 500GB minimum, would consider bigger if I could get it.
 
Transcend and Micron make some, and Toshiba probably does by now (but I can't find any for sale). Future SSDs are likely to start ditching SATA within the next year or two, so I wouldn't count on much that's on the horizon.

eBay has Toshiba M.2 2260 512GB for as little as $240, and you can get the M600 for around $270 elsewhere, like ShopBLT.

Perfect thank you! The Micron drive I was not aware of...and it looks perfect. I was hoping for one that possibly had Opal 2.0/eDrive support as well and it looks like these new M600's do, which is a nice bonus. Will just need to wait a bit for availability as they are brand new.
