Could someone please confirm if the following ssd and motherboard are compatible and if I would need any additional connectors?

Hi

It doesn't look like it is compatible looking at the specs. The M.2 slot on the board seems to be for a WiFi/BT module.


Slots
- 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slot (PCIE1: x16 mode) *
- Supports AMD Dual Graphics
- 1 x M.2 Socket (Key E), supports type 2230 WiFi/BT module

Yeh just get a sata SSD drive, there is no real world performance difference anyway, and they are cheaper.
