new m.2 drive compatible with drive slot?

[SUPER_MOOSE93]

I am putting in a separate 120gb m.2 for my windows install but have just noticed the 2 drives have different pins. My plan was to bury the boot drive inside my pc and have the other on the back of the motherboard, which is much easier to access.

I'm assuming the 2 drives are compatible with the same slot, but I don't want to risk it
