Yes, but keep in mind:
  • The card you chose only uses 1 PCIe lane, so the SSD won't be able to operate at full speed. Though I'd argue this isn't really a problem. The consumer facing benefit of SSDs tends to be how quick they can get something, not how fast they can shove it out (though it helps)
  • You may not be able to boot from the M.2 SSD if that was your goal.
