The motherboard you chose supports M.2 style SSD's! Both SATA and PCIe versions. (the latter allowing for faster read/write speeds)

I suggest looking into a Crucial P1 M.2 SSD or an Intel 660p M.2 SSD. 

 

The Crucial NVME SSD drive, 1TB is $10 more than your western digital drive!

I will swap them out, thanks for the advice!

On much older boards you can't boot with M.2 SSDs without mods, but nowadays you can.

@SalvatoreLacorte Mind you that's also moving from TLC with DRAM cache to QLC without DRAM. Not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely trading durability and latency for speed.
