    As far as I can tell, the PCIe bridge capability of your machine doesn't apply to the available m.2 SSD slot which is limited to SATA speeds. So I would not pay extra for nVME/PCIe speed capability because it can't be realized. You're probably better off going to a garden variety m.2 SATA card which is also likely to have less potential for installation issues. Jack E/NJ

    Yes, but that slot is NOT for an m.2 SSD. It is dedicated to and used by the SD card reader. The m.2 SSD slot is SATA3 not PCIe. Jack E/NJ
