So I can just rip the current m.2 controller right off my mobo and replace it with one of these new ones>.

Un huh --- Why not?

Oh well, my laptop runs hot - even hotter after putting in the second 2tb drive in raid 0.
 
In wonder outside of low power use what the various controllers are targeted at. Maybe one of these will finally healed a Samsung pcie 5 drive?

Isn’t the controller built into the drive? The socket on your motherboard just taps into the PCI lanes, which for most will be part of the CPU, although some motherboards have PCI extension chipsets.

A basic “nvme to pci” adapter kind of illustrates that:

 
I think Elf_Boy was being a bit pedantic in effect questioning the use of talking about a new controller that you have to buy a new drive to use... that's my guess.
