Thankyou!!!

Yes, the SSD is compatible with the motherboard.

You'll want to use the top M.2 slot for full performance, but keep in mind ASATA3 0 & 1 will be disabled, so make sure you move any SATA devices you may have connected to those, to the other 4 SATA ports:

Yes as this board supports M.2 PCIe (NVMe).

yes. you can use any ssd in any motherboard. 99.99% of the time there will be no compatibility problems. 

Ehh not quite. Some boards (especially common on prebuilt and notebook ones) only support SATA M.2 annoyingly. And that is information that is often obscured so you have people purchasing fancy NVMe drives to upgrade their laptops... only to find out it won't work since the board doesn't support PCIe on those M.2 slots. 

 

Case in point, my ASUS VivoBook is limited to M.2 SATA.

on a modern desktop motherboard that is not an issue. b450 pretty much always has nvme slots.

I also already looked at the motherboard name and it supports nvme.
