Question Does a MSI M320-A Pro support M.2 Gen 4 SSD?

I've tried to look on the MSI site to see if I can find an answer to my question, but I couldn't find an answer to my question.
I'm not a big guy in computers or anything so your help could be handy.

No, that motherboard doesnt have any M.2 slots in it.
You can only use SATA SSD's on it.
Or, you can buy a PCI X1 to M.2 adapter, if you reaaallllllyyyy want that M.2, but even at that point, I would still just go for a good sata ssd from samsung for example.

If your case doesn't have mounting bay for 2.5" ssds you can use double sided tape or velcro. Since ssds don't have moving parts can let it dangle if you want. Velcro does the job, did that myself, sticking it to some flat surface in reach.

Random access means very little between different ssd form factors so if you don't do stuff that requires huge data transfers you won't notice a difference. Not knocking m2 though, it has it's advantages, no cables being the main one.
