I just discovered my mobo (Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F w/ Intel Xeon D-1521) supports M.2 cards and I'd like to use one as my boot drive as im tired of replacing thumb drives every year.
I did some research and stumbled upon this thread that goes into some m.2 compatibility issues on the X11SSH mobo. From my Mobo manual, this is the only info I could find regarding the m.2 slot
Im really not sure im grasping all of this correctly, but sounds to me like its saying the m.2 needs to be PCIe but has legacy support for SATA. Does that mean I can use one of these m.2 SataIII cards I found on amazon?

If not, can anyone point me in the right direction as to which m.2 cards would work on my mobo?

M.2 Socket
M.2 is formerly known as Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF). The J21 connector is designed for internal mounting devices. The X10SDV series deploy an M key only dedicated for SSD devices with the ultimate performance capability in a PCI Express 3.0 X4 interface for native PCIe SSD support. The X10SDV M.2 is mux with the I-SATA0 port for legacy SATA SSD devices
