Need a cheap SSD for turbo m.2

[Hosharvey]

I'm building a system but don't have the money to spend loads on a SSD. I have a standard HDD that I will use for everything but I need a SSD for my OS. My motherboard is a B250M Pro-VDH from MSI and contains a turbo m.2 drive. 

 

Thanks.

Budget? I would get a SATA SSD because M.2 nvme drives are very pricey.

I found a Kingston one for £50 on ebuyer. Will it work?

just because it is M.2, doesn't mean it is NVME. Just about very cheap M.2 drive runs at SATA III speeds

So will it work? Because I might as well use the slot.

Samsung SM951 if you acutally want a pci-e speed m.2 at a decent price and can find one, otherwise you're looking at $120 minimum

 

If you just want m.2 form factor you can get a 120gb Samsung 850 evo m.2 for around $60

If you just want an SSD you can get a 120gb for around $40-$50
