Yep always for SSD's. But make sure you get the correct one, as there are different ones for different setups/system/uses.
This is the one I use, and like you I have a 6700K and multiple SSD's.
It's the latest, get it here: Download Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST)
Be sure to only get this one:
Thanks Cliff, you've been a great help.
EDIT: it says unsupported chipset. This is for the new optane memory which I dont have.
You need the one I highlighted, not the top one.

It is premature to compare the technologies, as SOP is still under development in T10. NVMe is expected to provide performance benefits due to its streamlined and focused approach towards the future where memory-like semantics may be used. As explained in another question in this FAQ SCSI Express is a term for a marketing project within the SCSI Trade Association (STA). It is not the name of an interface specification. Therefore it is not possible to compare SCSI Express to NVMe or any other interface specification.
19. How does NVM Express compare to SATA Express? SATA Express, driven by SATA-IO, defines a host connector that accepts a SATA hard drive, SATA SSD, or PCIe SSD. The PCIe SSD may support either the AHCI software interface or NVM Express. As NVM Express software support spreads in the industry, it is expected that client SSDs will adopt this interface for latency, parallelism, and other benefits that it provides.
