The tested unit then; you should easily be able to place the M.2 unit into a compatible SATA3 protocol motherboard (read that well). Most (but not all) motherboards chipsets support this. You should, however, check out with the motherboard manufacturer if you have an x2/x4 lane PCIe Gen 3.0 version with SATA3 bilateral m2 protocol support. Once configured in the BIOS or a compatible NAS the SSD will be supported natively.  The compact M.2 2280 form factor ensures compatibility with the next-generation desktop and mobile platforms that support the M.2 PCIe slot and interface. The 80 on 2280 is short for 80mm, aka, that is the length of the card and 2280, you guessed it now .. 22mm for its width.
