The M.2 slot is likely M-keyed and can only secure 2280 sized M.2 drives. So as long as you get something with an M-key and is 2280 sized, which most are of this size, then it should be fine.

 

The M.2 SSD being SATA or NVMe doesn't really matter. While NVMe on paper is faster than SATA, you won't really notice a difference in practice.

I would definitely check the physical NVME that you have to make sure you know the size compatible. and know the 'Key'

I personally do notice a difference with 500mb/s(sata) compared with 1500 or 3500(NVME)....but I am a Heavy Power User

Why don't add a 2.5 inch SATA SSD?
