ADATA - Premier SP550 240GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive vs ADATA - XPG SX6000 256GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive

Yep, the form factor fits. Just bear in mind that if you use the 2400G on that mobo you'll need to loan an older cpu from AMD to upgrade its bios. More information can be found here:

Why Adata? Spend a little more and you'll get samsung PM961.

Why still got people confused about this

 

M.2 is a form factor, just like 2.5, 3.5 inch drive. M.2 comes with either SATA or NVMe (or PCIe if you prefer this) interface. In real world and normal usage, you won't see a significant performance gain between a good SATA SSD and a NVMe SSD.

 

SX6000 and SP550 are poor performers, avoid.

Yes. Example of good SATA SSDs are Samsung 850/860 EVO, Crucial MX500, Crucial BX300, WD Blue 3D/Sandisk Ultra 3D, Intel 545s
