Compatible M.2 SSD (lemmy.world)

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?

Wow, it's strange. I don't have a yellow but installed countless m.2 and pcie devices in countless computers, and never seen such a limitation. Ram and cpu compatibility lists are a thing on mobo websites, but pcie? Is this some ARM thing?

It could just be that they didn't test them to confirm that they work and don't want the headache/liability of claiming that untested drives will work. AFAIK one M.2 drive should be the same as the next provided that it's the same type (SATA vs NVME)
