    I suggest you check this link, to understand the difference between the keys: https://www.kingston.com/br/ssd/system-builder/m2_faq
    However, your model will accept both sata 3 and nvme. The difference is that the ssd models that have only the B key, have the gen3x2 speed, while the models that have the M key, have the gen3x4 speed. However, I think there is no need to worry about that, as your model accepts NVM.

  • Yes, it must support, since it accepts ssd m2 2280 sata 3, nvme gen3x2 and optane memory, see: https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Acer-Aspire-A515-52/104039
