Does this mobo -->https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JNH48d/msi-b250m-pro-vd-micro-atx-lga1151-motherboard-b250m-pro-vd support this-->https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZNBrxr/samsung-960-evo-250gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-mz-v6e250

Yes, the B250 supports both M.2 PCIe (x4) and M.2 SATA>

The 960 Pro is M.2 PCIe (and requires x4 for full speeds).

Of Course, only thing is it will occupy one of the 6 SATA ports, you still have plenty left

It won't occupy a SATA port..... if you populate the M.2 with a SATA SSD, it'll disable SATA port #2 (as it's using the SATA controller), but the 960 EVO is PCIe?

The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled

When the M.2 port is populated with a SATA-based drive.

I don't believe that'll disable any SATA ports.
