Z170 Deluxe with M.2 question

For those with Asus Z170 mobo I have a question. I just got a Samsung 950 Pro drive. I installed it in the M.2 slot. In the Z170 Deluxe bios under the Onboard Device Config then Sata Mode Config I set it to M.2 instead of Sata Express. However when I reboot and check the bios it switches the m.2 mode back to Sata Express. When using an Nvme M.2 drive shouldn't is be set to M.2 and not Sata express?
 
Was confused about this myself for some time, but it is behaving as it should.

The 950 Pro is a PCI Express based drive so it doesn't use sata express, and therefore doesn't take up any of the sata lanes when installed.
