Your motherboard does have M.2 connector.

Look again carefully, just below cpu

And regarding the list of supported motherboard from intel, they only test it on current motherboard when that model was released. M.2 work almost like SSD in term of compatibility (backward compatible). You should not worry about it much.

If you still concern about it, just make sure your purchase is returnable.

Its a good M.2 ssd

Not all boards support every m.2.
I once bought a transcend m.2 for my Asus Maximus Hero but its not compatible at all. Had to sell to someone else. again it is a case to case basis.

It is true for almost in all new technology where its compatibility is in question. Current M.2 are now more adaptable than the earlier one. The intel 600P was realesed in Q4 2016, I wouldn't be worried about its compatibility.

Even RAM module still have some (very rare) compatibility issue. Even a proven compatible product might have byproduct. All in all, if you worried so much of compatibility issue, you cannot step forward to the future.

If OP need secure answer, just make sure he bought a refundable M.2 SSD. But hardware wise, they should work although might not in the best setting. That is all.
