Hello @Wittrock 

 

Yes it will support both NVMe and Sata M.2 SSDs including that EVO drive.

BUT, it will not run at the x4 speed of the EVO drive. You would basically be throwing money away, trying to install a really fast and expensive drive like that.

Because the M.2 port is compatible with both types, the system will only run NMVe at x2 speed because its sharing 2 PCIe lanes with Sata. I would recommend something less expensive in NVMe.  Just so you know, its up to you.
