Is this SSD compatible with this motherboard?

[Jskid]

I would like to get the Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA M.2 (2280SS) Internal SSD - CT500MX500SSD4
but the Memory Selector doesn't list it as compatible with my motherboard. My motherboard is the Asus P8Z68-v LE It has SATA 6GB/s so I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible with the SSD? Is there something I'm missing?

No you cannot that mobo does not have pci m.2 socket to insert it correctly.
You will need to upgrade to a newer mobo that will allow newer ssd drive models.

Just buy SATA drive, not M.2 https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/p8z68-v-le/CT11310677

Buy a Samsung SATA SSD while you're at it. The migration software is free, and it works like a charm.
