NVMe drive compatibility

Going through some documentation and compatibility matrices, I've noticed some NVMe drives are showing up as compatible in older systems that don't have NVMe backplanes, such as the MD32xx (https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/19/powervault-md3200/md32xx_36xx_supportmatrix_pub/supported-physical-disks?guid=guid-da577510-698c-4fa5-a957-2d90c246f2a4&lang=en-us).  

Also there's at least one NVMe SSD that shows as compatible with ONLY a handful of systems that it can't possibly work properly with.  see this link:  https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-192tb-ssd-sas-mix-use-12gbps-512e-25in-hot-plug-drive-kpm5xvug1t92/apd/400-bcmj/storage-drives-media

As far as I'm aware, these NVMe-style SAS SSDs can only work in 14th gen servers and other hardware with specialized NVMe backplanes, but please correct me if i'm wrong.  Otherwise, someone needs to go over the documentation with a fine-tooth comb and correct these glaring errors.

the specific part number we're finding errors with is 2WVYG (KPM5XVUG1T92 and SDFBD85DAB01 are also printed on the drive)
