It has been a long time since I have parted out computer parts and I am not sure about checking on compatibility for some types of parts. I would like to get an M.2 drive to add to my Home Assistant Yellow, and I am thinking about this one. Crucial P3 500GB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD

Is there any reason this one wont work with the Yellow?

    Consider reaching out to crucial.

    I needed to upgrade my mom’s athlonX2 system when it was 7 or so, and an SSD was an easy idea. But, the nForce4 mobo didn’t support any SSDs at all. It’s a generational thing.

    I reached out to crucial, on a whim – and they responded. Yes, SSDs were tested on my ASUS nForce4 mobo, and fully supported. I had an upgrade that worked!

    The machine lasted until win7 died the first time, years later. I’ve been crucial-first whenever possible, since.

    Ideally if you reach out you’ll have a similar response. There’s not much risk of support issues, but it’s good to get a human reassuring you they have your proverbial back.
