    9020 MFF motherboard slot 1 M.2 slot is for wireless LAN.  spec does not mention m.2 ssd.

    9020M motherboard does have a slot 2 M.2.

    PS 3020M board does not have slot 2 M.2 soldered because it is a cheaper entry level model.  there is no 7020M or 5020M.

    gen 2.0 because that is what the chipset has. gen 3 ssd is backward compatible and will run at gen 2 speed.

    9020M board slot 1_M.2 is socket 1, for wireless LAN.

    9020M board slot 2_M.2 is socket 2, for ssd (sata or PCIe x2).5B675B68-58AE-48AD-B6DE-7C08121242AE.jpeg

    M.2 connectors on the host are called "sockets." Each socket has a unique mechanical key. According to PCI Express M.2 Specifications Rev. 1.1, the sockets are distinguished as follows:

    • Socket 1: Connectivity socket for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.
    • Socket 2: WWAN/SSD.  the socket may accommodate a B+M-keyed small M.2 SSD.  Socket 2 configuration is for SATA or PCIe x2

    • Socket 3 configuration is for PCIe in a x4 configuration
