@Rosfromitaly 

 

The series has M.2 slot for flash cache. You can also use it for an M.2 SATA drive after disable Intel SRT (Smart Response Technology). Your machine may not have 32GB flash cache therefore you and use it for an M.2 SATA SSD.

 

You bought a Samsung model MZ-ALQ1280 SSD which is an M.2 NVMe SSD, this won't work in the first place.
