refer to your motherbords user manuel for the specs not the features page. you will be able to download it by looking up the model number on MSI's website if you no longer have the paper copy that was included

[captaincharisma]

is it a quick guide manuel? their should be a list of specs on one of the first pages of it. if not then the full one is on the driver disk. but the full manuel should be on their website

1 x M.2 slot (Key M)

• Supports PCIe 3.0 x4 (1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™, Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics) or PCIe 3.0 x2 (Athlon™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics) and SATA 6Gb/s 2242/ 2260/ 2280 storage devices

So - you can use PCIE (NVME) and SATA M.2 drives,
also 2.5" sata drives.

For exmple Samsung 970 Evo would be M.2 nvme drive,
Samsung 860 evo M.2 would be M.2 sata drive,
Samsung 860 Evo 2.5" would be 2.5" sata drive.

thank you for your answer. btw aren't there 2 types of SATA M.2 drives - one with B&M key and another one with M key. the one with B&M key won't support right?

There's no need to be concerned about that.
What model M.2 drive did you have in mind?

huh maybe

1. Adata Ultimate SU650 240GB M.2
2. Kingston A400 Series 240GB M.2
3. WESTERN DIGITAL Green 240GB M.2

any of them. but they all have B&M key like this

 

[SkyNetRising]

All of them are compatible.
I'd stay away from Kingston A400. Lot of people are complaining about this model.
Adata Ultimate SU650 probably is best of those 3.
