AMD (AM4) - M.2 Slots

[HC1Gunner]

I have an aging Intel based system, but my 1TB SSD is fairly new, and is a M.2 NVMe. I'm going to be building a new AMD Ryzen 3rd Gen system.

I might be reading this wrong, but every AMD (AM4) motherboard I look at, all the M.2 slots are listed as just M.2 SATA, I don't see any mention of a M.2 listed as NVMe. Or is it the deal that M.2 NVMe has become mainstream, and they have dropped the "NVMe" from the M.2 description?
I need to make sure I can transfer my M.2 NVMe to a new AMD (AM4) motherboard.

Just one of the boards I was looking at:
GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ULTRA AMD Ryzen 3000 PCIe 4.0 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.2 AMD X570 ATX Motherboard.

6 x SATA 6Gb/s
M.2
Integrated in the CPU (M2A_SOCKET):
3rd Generation AMD Ryzen processors:
1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe 4.0 x4/x2 SSD support)
2nd Generation AMD Ryzen processors / 2nd Generation AMD Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics processors / AMD Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics processors:
1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4/x2 SSD support)

Integrated in the Chipset (M2B_SOCKET/M2C_SOCKET):
1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe 4.0*/3.0 x4/x2 SSD support) (M2B_SOCKET)
* For 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen processors only.
1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280 SATA and PCIe 4.0*/3.0 x2 SSD support) (M2C_SOCKET)
* For 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen processors only.

pcie=nvme

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but PCIe does not always = nvme . PCI Express was around years before NVMe was even a thought of in anyones's brain (1st introduced in 1991).

M.2 slots are key a certain way, I have older M.2 SSD's that are SATA, its keyed differently than my current M.2 NVMe SSD, my previous M.2 SSD (sata) won't even fit in the M.2 slots on my current board.

You have PCIe 16x , 8x, 2x, and 1x, slots, and they definitely can't be used with a M.2 NVMe SSD

What @OneMoar said is NVMe communicates over PCI-E, therefore M.2 with PCI-E key automatically carries NVMe.

 

[OneMoar]

if the m.2 slot supports pcie by extension that makes it support nvme
some boards do have SATA only m.2 slots but all you need to know is that if the slot supports pcie then it supports nvme

My X570 has dual M.2 and I have both loaded with PCIe SSD fine.
