Those are PCI slots, not PCIe slots, and so the SSD adapter and the WiFi 6 card will not work on it icon_idea.gif

Note that the white and black PCIe slots operate at PCIe 2.0 x8/x4 respectively, if you have a discrete GPU installed on the first slot (i.e. the dark blue PCIe slot) icon_idea.gif

The white PCIe slot will run at PCIe 2.0 x8, which gives you a theoretical maximum of 4GB/s speeds (or equivalent PCIe 3.0 x4) icon_idea.gif
On the other hand, the black PCIe slot will run at PCIe 2.0 x4, which translates to a maximum of 2GB/s speeds icon_idea.gif

Do note that PCIe to NVMe adapters may not work properly due to the BIOS may not handle booting from PCIe storage correctly, and you may need to use certain tools like Clover UEFI to work:

That being said, a WiFi 6 adapter should work fine as long as you have the correct drivers for it icon_idea.gif
