5060, support NVMe drives?
I'm trying to find out if we purchase a base Optiplex 5060 i5-8500 with 2x4GB of RAM with a 500GB 7200RPM disk, if the motherboard will support NVMe drives. We need an NVMe that's larger than what Dell offers.

Some models ONLY support PCI-E NVME drives.
Small form factor manual says
1 - 2230/2280 (Support SATA & PCIe interface)
1 - 2230 (keyed to support Integrated or Discrete WiFi)
WINDOWS 7 is NOT an option past 3050 5050
B keyed NVME is SATA.
If you plan on M2 I recommend you buy them with it installed. There is a screw and post and thermal pad that may be missing if you do not order with the unit.
Supported OS
Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro National Academic (64-bit)

This is very useful info! Thank you for your help! I'll just make the client spend a little more for a 128gb nvme so we can guarantee it will have the required parts.
