Umm, why would you want to connect the pins to the mbo if u got no components, lol?
Anyway, you can, sure, why not.
Samsung makes hella good SSDs, both NVME M.2 and the SATA ones.
Yes, it's a great idea to put the OS on it.
 


umm to make sure it works but wouldn't that damage the board cuz the power doesn't have anywhere to go to for the cpuor ram
