This WD blue M.2 isn’t good performance: for $129 it delivers 1TB using SATA at 560 mbps.

Whereas the XPG SX8200 pro costs $219 yet uses NVMe and delivers 1TB at 3500 mbps.

See the May 1 2019 comparison article here:

Incidentally you need to know if your motherboard has an m.2 slot and what form factors it accepts. The two m.2 ssd’s mentioned here are both form factor 2280, which is one of the factors my motherboard is compatible with.

You can't put a NVMe in a M.2 SATA or vice versa it won't fit...

Ok after jumping thru substantial hoops to setup a Canada Computers account, I find out they’re never going to mail out the $199 WD Black M.2. In-store pickup only, and you have to live in Vancouver, Montreal, or Ontario.
Rats!

Unlike Amazon, NewEgg won't apply PST if shipped to Quebec. Also, NE shipped my SSD very quickly.

NVMe and SATA are transfer protocols. M.2 is a form factor. Much like 2.5" and 3.5" for SSDs and HD.
From my understanding they have different pins so it won't fit properly. For example look at the picture of these 2 M.2 products.

https://www.amazon.ca/Black-SN750-500GB ... way&sr=8-1
The pins are clearly noticeably different it won't fit properly if you get the wrong one.

If you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't give out false information.
Look at the picture of these 2 M.2 one is sata the other is NVMe they are clearly different. It will not fit properly if you use the wrong one.

I could be misinformed though.

If your mobo has two of those keys it can be both PCIe and SATA compatible, but you only get 2x PCIe lanes, whereas having only 1 M key, you get 4x lanes. Check your mobo since it'll tell you everything there.

Yes the pictures look different, however m.2 is used to describe the form factor.

Every CPU has a certain number of lanes designated to each protocol on the motherboard. And that is why certain things on the motherboard have faster speeds than others.

M.2 SSDs are all the same form factor, however, SATA m.2 drives will be slower as compared to NVME m.2 drives. So to answer the question, all m.2 drives will fit, its just a matter of speed that you will get with your drive. In order to utilize the NVME speed of the NVME drives, your m.2 slot on your motherboard will need to support that protocol. Just because an NVME m.2 drive will fit your your motherboard, doesnt mean you will get "NVME speed" because your motherboard might only support "SATA speed".

WD Blue will be SATA (slower and cheaper) and WD Black is NVME (faster and more expensive). You get what you pay for.
