Would this work? NVME and SATA III M.2

Hey people, I have ROG STRIX B450-I AM4 Mini ITX and it has two M.2 slots, one slot in the back of the board and one in front underneath the M.2 heatsink.

 

The slots are listed as follow.

1 x M.2, 2242/2260/2280, PCIe 3.0

1 x M.2, 2242/2260/2280, PCIe 3.0/SATA

 

Now what I am unsure about is would these support two of "Intel 660p 1TB M.2 PCIe QLC 3D Performance NVMe SSD/Solid State Drives" OR two "WD 1TB Blue 3D NAND M.2 SATA SSD/Solid State Drives"

 

Thanx in advance.

If you look at the storage specs for the motherboard, https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B450-I-GAMING/specifications/, you will see that cpu with integrated gpu only have one M.2 slot available. 

 

Also, see the spec footnotes, one of the slots when populated will cause the x16 PCIe slot to run at x8.

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

I see thank you, I am still relatively new to this, and thought its better to ask for opinions before I spend my cash and find i made a mistake.
