I had an Asus ROG laptop that accepted both SATA and NVMe drives

 

It came with a 128GB SATA drive but I swapped it for a Samsung 970 EVO

 

You had to change a setting in the BIOS to enable it though IIRC

So according to the Asus website your laptop can come with an M.2 drive. - 128GB SSD (M.2 2280)
- 256GB SSD (M.2 2280)

So if you find a M.2 2280 drive you should be fine. I would hope you could put in a bigger size then what is listed. But laptops are not my main bread an butter. 

Hopefully you get some better information, than what I provide. 

 

But from what I understand, yes most M.2 ( at least the ones that will take NVME, can also take SATA III drives as well) drives will just run at the speed of the drive. And the spec sheet will list what types of M.2 drives your motherboard can handle. ( I believe)

MX500? it comes in 2 flavors, SATA and M.2, but it's still is a SATA drive, and not NVME.

I guess you have a mx500 m.2.

Go to Task Manager > Performance > Disk 0 > note the name right there and either look it up online to see its specs, or give use the name and we can look it up.

What I think OP is saying is they used Crucial's website which has an upgrade page for a lot of notebooks. That website suggested two types of M.2 drives, one of the SATA variety and one of the PCIE/NVME variety. The MX500 and P1 respectively.

But that's just a guess I did.

Ok, well, for OP, i suggest getting a P1 instead of Mx500.

Or better get a WD SN750 or Samsung 970.

Your laptop does not support nvme and will run the m.2 drive at sata3 speeds from what I gather on the specs and crucials website.
