The part that you are pointing to is your Aspire TC-780 desktops PCIe x1 slot which is an interface used to communicate with devices like sound cards, network adapters, TV Tuner, NVMe M2, etc. It is smaller in size (25mm) as compared to a PCIe x16 and has a single lane to transfer data at the rate of one bit per cycle. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

Great, thank you! Will it accept an NVMe or M.2 SSD?

The M.2 2280 slot is a 6GB/s SATA B&M end key type M.2 SSD drive, that is the only drive that it will accept

These are the two M.2 SSD key type drives, the B&M is the old SATA III speed SSD at max 6GB/s speed the new M key is the latest and today with the Gen 5 x4 M.2 drives it runs at 32GB/s max speeds

Thank you. There appears to be one key in the slot shown in my photograph and it appears to be closer to the center of the slot vs. the M key and B/M key examples that you show.

Also, #9 on the motherboard photo indicates an M2 SSD connector. I'm assuming an SSD can be added there (?)
