I plan to purchase onboard SSD, but I am not sure whether my board supports M.2 SSD 6Gbps SATA or NVME logical intefaces. Below is the specification of my motherboard. Board Name: Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H (rev. 1.x) Mother Board official Website: https://www.gigabyte.com/in/Motherboard/GA-A320M-S2H-rev-1x#kf

If the board supports NVME, then can I install OS on it? Also, please suggest the best 250 GB NVME SSD for the board.

First of all the onboard SSD you're describing is called M.2 which is the standard for its physical size (or its physical slot/interface). The 4-digit numbers indicate its physical size in MM, ex: 2280 means its 22mm wide & 80mm long.

M.2 SSD's can logically use SATA, PCIe AHCI/SATA, or PCIe NVMe. pg15 of your motherboard manual (seen below) SEEMS to indicate only SATA or PCIe AHCI/SATA may be used DEPENDING ON WHICH PROCESSOR/CPU YOU USE. So I am not 100% sure if NVMe will work...

Every board with NVMe from at least the past 5 years can boot from it.

Your own manual places no restriction on its use.
