your motherboard manual will state if it supports m.2 and which type.
there are NVMe type m.2 and SATA type m.2.
an NVMe slot will probably support a SATA m.2 chip but a SATA m.2 slot will not support a NVMe m.2 chip.
when searching for an m.2 disk to buy make sure you are getting the type your motherboard will support.
also take into account that if you have multiple HDs or SSDs already installed, some m.2 slots will disable some the 6Gb/s SATA ports.
