I'm Looking to buy Samsug 980 ssd 250gb PCie 3.0x4 and M.2 NVME to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter with Aluminum Heatsink SolutionM.2 NVME to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter. I would like to know if the item is compatible with the z820.

Hi
The general rule thumb is: the MB needs to have native M.2 support (M.2 socket on the MB with BIOS support and CPU or chipset support) to boot to a M.2 storage device. Are you using the latest BIOS for your MB? You can use the 980 as a data drive if your MB does not support the boot option.
