    Yes, the 510 m.2 nvme should also be compatible with your m.2 socket since your mainboard supports both SATA3 and nvme cards. Jack E/NJ .

    Will the motherboard support it cause the seagate barracuda is way faster the the sandisk I currently have a speed of 540 mo/sec but the barracuda have a speed of 3400 mo/sec

    Yes. the PCIe bus should support NVMe Gen 3 cards with speeds 2400 MB/s or higher. Should be 4 times faster than SATA3 cards. Jack E/NJ

    It won't become hot?

    The 510 uses 2.5 watts. The x600 2.2 watts. Not too much difference. A little warmer maybe but not hot. Jack E/NJ

    You can request an ACER 2.5" HDD/SSD drive mounting kit at this link     I however prefer to use antistatic foam to immobilize and protect the drive inside my laptops instead of adding more brackets &screws. It's crowded enough inside without adding more metal.  :)   Jack E/NJ
