The one I posted is M-key, which is supported.
The 860 one is B+M and is supported too.

The drive you selected is a Sata m.2 drive and not any faster then the 2.5" version that uses a normal sata port.
If you are looking for speed, you want an NVME drive and the 970 is one of the fastest.

You might be able to find a 960 EVO on sale now that 970 EVOs and now the EVO Plus are out....

Few will be able to tell the 960 EVO is 'slower' with 200-300 less sequential Mb/sec reads...
