M.2 is a physical form factor - M.2 can be used with SATA/PCI-E interface.  Check your motherboard manufacturer on which interface the M.2 slot can support.  Some boards may support PCI-E M.2 and some boards may only support SATA M.2 icon_idea.gif

Any M.2 NVMe SSD will do
But since your motherboard does not have an M.2 slot, you will have to buy an add-on card so that you can install the M.2 NVMe SSD into the PCI-e slot

Something like this:

Downside: If you use NVMe SSD in your ITX motherboard, you can no longer install a discrete GPU into the motherboard because your motherboard only has a single PCI-e slot

oh then is useless for me i guess, since i need the PCIe for gpu...
