Can someone please tell me what m.2 ssd will work in the onboard m.2 slot on the ASROCK A88M-G/3.1 motherboard? Don't have time to order the wrong product again.
 
Solution
SATA M.2 are not compatible.
NVMe PCI‑Express M.2 are supported. Slot does not use PCIe Gen3 speeds so Gen2 x4 (20 Gb/s) is maximum speed. Installing a PCIe Gen 3 M.2 will run at PCIe Gen 2 speeds.

*If PCIE3 is occupied, M2_1 will be disabled.
The M.2 socket does not support SATA M.2 SSDs.
