That motherboard will take a SATA III M.2 drive, or a NVMe M.2 drive at much reduced performance.

The Crucial MX500 is a SATA III drive.
The exact same as the MX500 2.5" drive, just in a different package.
Being M.2 does not change the performance.


Also, the M.2 port disables the SATA ports #4 & 5 on the motherboard. So if you're using those, problems.

What other drives do you have in this system?
