Question Can I have a help if my motherboard support NVME, pls?

My MB is a Asus Z170m-Plus. As far I have look up on the manual, it says that it support NGFF, wich is the old standard for m.2 right? I talked with Asus Support and they said that it's not compatible with the NVME, only with SATA, but on the the MB itself says "M.2 X4 PCIe 3.0" so I'm thinking if this information it's correct. It's really hard to find a good brand on Gen 3 here, so naturally I'm aiming for a Gen 4. As far I research, it will work but with a speed limitation (3500 mb/s on reading).
That is right?
If the NVME its not possible for me to use here, I'll probably try a Sata III but prices on both are not that different and NVME it's so much more fast...

Thanks for all the help.

PCIe x4 V3.0 means it's compatible with NVMe SSDs.
Since it's V3.0 even V4.0. or 5.0 NVMe drives will work at 3.0 speeds but are otherwise fully compatible.

Your M.2 slot allows ether a NVMe or SATA drive to be plugged into it.
