Does the ASROCK H97M pro4 motherboard have compatibility with a Samsung 850 EVO m.2 SATA III 500 GB SSD?

Thanks for the help, is there any particular difference between the one you listed as the first reply, to the adapter you linked just now? Will a 6G adapter only be compatible with my mobo, or do I need a 6G because that is the one the specific SSD is compatible with? Thanks again!

why do you want a mSata drive and have to fool with an adaptor when a normal sata SSD is cheap - samsung 850 Evo 250 GB $80 shipped, no adapter card needed

if you do go the adapter card route, go with the Asus hyper X - i had the addionics and while it does function well, that mSata is going to run hot, and the Asus card mounts the SSD with about 1/8+ gap between the backside and the card's board, which means airflow. The addionics doesn't leave enough of a gap to drop a 25 cent pc between the ssd and the card's board

you're confusing what i asked
an mSata drive is no faster than a normal Sata SSD - an NVMe M.2 drive is 3X (or more) faster, and to me justifies the PCIe adapter card. Check out a Samsung 950 Pro or a 960 Pro in terms of read / write speeds vs a Sata or mSata drive
