M.2 SATA support Whether SATA drives are explicitly supported. A matching connector or length does not establish SATA support. Unknown is not a confirmed no.

Explicit compatibility limits Important exclusions and capacity or revision conditions. Use the exact drive and enclosure revision. Do not treat a generic NVMe label as universal compatibility.
