Hello @carl169 , how are you ?

Looking at the manual below, even in the illustrated part, it accepts SSD but of the SATA III model

I looked at all the specifications and it does not show compatibility with other SSD models.

Thank you so much for your reply Fabio_32  my question is this  what about an adapter that connects  the nvme m.2  ssd to the pcie x4 pciexp  using the pci express bus for that faster speed   better than the sata?

Hello @carl169 

So, I even looked at the manual to be able to answer correctly. It has a space for this, but it doesn't indicate which exact model to use.

That's why the recommendation to use a SATA III

Hello Fabio_l32 good to hear from you again. I agree  with you totally and truly appreciate  your interest in helping me  decide which path to take. I finally found a video of a guy upgrading my exact hp z240 sff computer and finally saw where the m.2 nvme ssd would go. crucial scan says that my computer will take a t500ssd gen 4   7300 read 6800 write with that type of speed a heat sink is a must. The sata that you advise is a sure thing , the crucial suggestion is scary.  I will try the nvme way this time because if my hp z240  don't work out  my two newer laptops I brought this year will most likely handle the nvme  m.2 ssd..I will inform you of the results. Thanks again for your time and effort to help .
