Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

By high spec, can you elaborate what you mean?

- 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket, supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s)**

*If M2_1 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_0 and SATA3_1 will be disabled.
^ mentioned on their specs page, here. So if anything, you should be looking at a Samsung 970 Evo Plus or similar, anything above that(PCIe Gen 3x4) will not run faster. Please be sure to be on the latest BIOS version for your motherboard prior to dropping in ram and SSD's so that you don't have any compatibility issues.

Thank you for your response
By high specs i meant high storage capacity like 2tb
Specs was not the best word so my bad
So i guess everything is ok and i can buy a nvme ssd
Thank you🙏
