Hi, I currently have a MSi x470 gaming motherboard, which has two m.2 slots on it. When I search for an m.2 drive online, I see several models that are PCIe x4, like

and I got wondering, why is it called an m.2 drive if it's actually PCIe? Will it fit in an m.2 slot anyways? I am unclear to wheather this will work or not if I plug it into the m.2 slot. Any help is appreciated, thx in advance.
