Does a pcie 3.0 x4 nvme ssd work in a pcie 3.0 x2 m.2 motherboard slot?

The title pretty much explains it

 

I want to run a Kingston SA2000M8 250gb ssd in a gigabyte h410m s2h. Will it work?

 

Thanks

yes....its the number you need to pay attention if the m.2 slot supports....that a 2280 so your good
NVMe is an open standard developed to allow modern SSDs to operate at the read/write speeds their flash memory is capable of. ... It is also unrelated to the form factor, which is why NVMe drives can come in both M. 2 or PCIe card form factors
