Will the Samsung 960 EVO Polaris M.2 work with my motherboard?

I'm fairly sure that my motherboard can work with the M.2 SSD, but would someone be able to doublecheck and confirm it for me?

I've got the Asus Maximus VIII Hero Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard

I've been thinking for a while about upgrading my primary SSD to a M.2 drive but not gotten around to it yet.

Has an M.2 slot so yes it will
