The physical socket is standard M.2 M-key. The logical interface supported by the motherboard (as you are saying) is SATA/AHCI.
Modern NVMe drives can also work in SATA/AHCI mode, but you will be IOPS/bandwidth/latency limited by the capabilities of the SATA/AHCI interface - you won't get PCIe Gen 3 x4 speeds.

The slot should work with NVMe drives according to NBC

Agreed with both ^^^
This is what you want:
Crucial MX500 3D NAND M.2 Type 2280 Internal SSD 250GB/500GB/1TB
Go with the recommended in this case as mentioned the NVME would work but for the cost you will not see the performance.
*edit
I actually have this one (Crucial MX200 250 GB M.2-2280) in my main rig as my C drive, it is very responsive.
