Question Is this M.2 Drive compatible with my motherboard?

[koslaw]

So, I have an Asus AMD AM4 ROG Strix X570-E Motherboard. I was looking at buying the WD Black SN750 1TB NVMe Internal Gaming SSD - Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280 drive.

Is this something that is supported by this motherboard? Someone I was talking to said it wasn't but it looks like it has an M.2 Slot.

Thanks for your time and help all, I know this is probably a stupid question...

Yes, it is compatible.

That's what I thought, but I didn't want to spend the money without knowing for sure since someone said otherwise.

Thanks for your help!

Ask them their justification of saying it is not...

I'd like to know their justification too ;p

I think it was because the slot is under a cover that acts as a heat sink, but they were saying that the M.2 drives are different than a Nvme drive or something. But I'll follow up with them at some point lol.
