Most current PCIe SSDs behave to the PCI bus & operating system like an AHCI controller with a SATA SSD attached to it. Advantage of this is that it's well supported by firmware (BIOS/EFI) and operating systems (stock drivers). Such SSDs inherit the limitations of that architecture, which was designed for spinning platters. NVMe is a fresh start in that regard.
