    The original specsheet suggests m.2 SATA3 speed support, not 2x or 4x nvme.  It's possible recent production changes were made but the only way to tell if it has nvme support is to run HWINFO64 on the actual machine that you finally  purchase. Sorry. Jack E/NJ

    Hi, kindly check the specs of the unit below.




               As per as the specs of your unit, this unit doesn't support a M.2 NVMe SSD port, it supports a SATA SSD.

    Kindly click "YES" to "Did this answer the question" if my answer helped you!      
    Thank you and have a Blessed Day  :3

    Then why they gave a m.2 SSD port just besides the ram port???

    The original model shipped with a 2.5" HDD but the mainboard has an empty m.2 slot in which you can certainly add an m.2 SATA3 SSD card  and some double-keyed m.2 nvme cards. The nvme speeds however would be the same as SATA3 so don't pay extra for an nvme. Jack E/NJ

    And if I will insert m.2 nvme SSD 3/4 SSD will it work????

    Double-keyed m.2 NVME cards can sometimes be troublesome in an m.2 SATA3 slot. Accordingly, it's safer and usually cheaper to use an m.2 SATA3 card.   Jack E/NJ
