It has been a long time since I have parted out computer parts and I am not sure about checking on compatibility for some types of parts. I would like to get an M.2 drive to add to my Home Assistant Yellow, and I am thinking about this one. Crucial P3 500GB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD

Is there any reason this one wont work with the Yellow?

It could just be that they didn't test them to confirm that they work and don't want the headache/liability of claiming that untested drives will work. AFAIK one M.2 drive should be the same as the next provided that it's the same type (SATA vs NVME)
