If you clearly examine the M.2 port in the Dell 7567 it shows that it has a PCIe slot (only the M key is required)

Therefore it should support both SATA and PCIe type SSDs

Hope this Helps ;)...

This is what it says in the manual :

Storage
Table 9. Storage specifications
Interface
• SATA 6 Gbps • PCIe/NVMe
Hard drive

One 2.5-inch drive (SATA) Solid-state drive
One M.2 drive (SATA or PCIe/NVMe)


now , the M.2 Slot cant support both NVMe and SATA right ?

The dell manual says it supports pcie nvme and sata both....I also contacted dell and they also confirmed that it is pcie nvme...

maybe ask Samsung ?

There must be a way also to check through windows or Linux's settings....I have no clue how to though...
