That said, you're probably not going to see a meaningful upgrade to an SN850 for awhile (it's still one of the faster Gen 4s though the 850X is a bit faster), and going from an SX8200 Pro to a P5 Plus isn't enough of a jump to really be noticeable unless you have workloads that are super sensitive to storage speed. You'll probably have to wait till fast Gen 5 drives are available to realize any significant difference, and even then you very well might not notice it in day-to-day usage.

The heatsink was finally delivered on Saturday 4/7. Seventeen days after I ordered it. It's not even worth to return since it was "free". I doubt they'd refund me any money.
I suspect the heatsink went out of stock and they had to wait to it was replenished.
Can it be used as boot drive? Doubtful. It says supporting ACHI mode only, not NVMe, so BIOS likely cannot read a NVMe drive.
It might worth doing some research on if its newer BIOS update adds NVMe support, as i believe this is a software issue.
Can it be used as non-boot drive? Should be so, as basically every OS nowadays has NVMe support.

PCIe (speed), like PCIe x2, was the name they called NVME drives before calling it NVME was a thing. Check out the NVME SSDs they have on the supported list (like: SM951 MZ-HPV5120 and https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-S...XDV11?th=1 -- both clearly NVME -- https://download.gigaby
This NVME SSD, M2 2280 form factor, will work fine in his PC. Sure, he might only get Gen2 speeds on it (hence the M2_10GB label on the motherboard) but it is still the recommended purchase (vs SATA SSD or SATA M2 or something even older).
The other clue: SATA M2 tops out at around 550MB/s; they wouldn't call that M2_10GB on the motherboard - and M2_10GB is exactly PCIe x2 in that generation of PCIe.
All that said, a PCIe NVME adapter to put it on a faster PCIe x8 or x16 slot, assuming you've a card that can do that, might give a little more top-end speed, if you care about benchmarks. Otherwise, you'd never notice the difference.
I just spent $15 on a USBC enclosure for my MM2P. Works great. Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&

Your drive will do around 5000MB/s.
The USBC device I linked will do 1000MB/s.
I doubt you'd notice the difference, but you're welcomed to spend $150 for a TB4 or USB4 interface, which would probably bump real speeds from 800MB/s up to 2700-3200MB/s.
Again, I doubt you'd ever notice.

I already have my videocard in there..and I think that is on the PCIex16 slot (I don't really know lol). So, I'd have to put the m.2 drive on the m.2 slot from Gen 2 like you say.
THANK you for the help. I think I've decided to take the risk and get it. Hopefully what you say is correct. And yes, I'm looking to make it my main boot drive.
I'd assume its faster than my Samsung Evo 850 SSD that I got back in 2015.
Would you happen to know at what specific speed it would run? Advertised at 6,600 read and 5,000 Write, but that is if it was x4 gen 4. As x2 Gen 2, what speed would I get?
Again, THANK YOU!!
