I have been trying to find this information everywhere and have not had any luck. I would like to install an M.2 SSD. I need to know what length and if it's nvme or sata.

@Shanasman450, from all I have read the m+b connector is compatible with the m slot on your computer.  If you want to confirm this further, I suggest that you contact Crucial's Tech Support.  They are very helpful.

I've seen those actually. What had thrown me off about them is that the slot on my motherboard has an m connector and the drives shown on crucial's website had m+b conectors. Am I wrong for thinking the two are incompatible?
