lsblk (List Block)
You can use lsblk command:
$ lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,SIZE,MODEL
NAME FSTYPE LABEL MOUNTPOINT SIZE MODEL
sdb 186.3G 2105
├─sdb2 ntfs S3A6550D005 /media/rick/ 178.9G
├─sdb3 ntfs HDDRECOVERY 6G
└─sdb1 ntfs TOSHIBA SYSTEM VOLUME 1.5G
sda 931.5G HGST HTS721010A9
├─sda4 ntfs WINRETOOLS 450M
├─sda2 128M
├─sda5 ntfs Image 11.4G
├─sda3 ntfs HGST_Win10 /mnt/d 919G
└─sda1 vfat ESP 500M
nvme0n1 477G Samsung SSD 960 PRO 512GB
├─nvme0n1p5 ext4 NVMe_Ubuntu_16.0 / 44.6G
├─nvme0n1p3 16M
├─nvme0n1p1 ntfs 450M
├─nvme0n1p6 swap Linux Swap [SWAP] 7.9G
├─nvme0n1p4 ntfs NVMe_Win10 /mnt/c 414.9G
├─nvme0n1p2 vfat /boot/efi 99M
└─nvme0n1p7 ntfs Shared_WSL+Linux /mnt/e 9G
You can see my NVMe SSD is a Samsung SSD 960 PRO 512GB
Create an alias for arguments
As pointed out in comments a typo was made for MODEL and the output was incomplete. To avoid that in the future and more importantly so you don’t have to remember the arguments create an alias in ~/.bashrc called lsdrv which you can use all the time:
$ cat ~/.bashrc | grep lsdrv
# Create lsdrv version of lsblk without UUID's
alias lsdrv="lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,SIZE,MODEL"
Now in the terminal you can simply use lsdrv to see all your drives complete with model number and other useful information.
Voltage / Power
This is pretty much irrelevant. The deciding factor is M.2 22x80 mm size or a different size. Also whether if it is Gen 3 x 2 or Gen 3 x 4 speed (the second is twice as fast).
For example I have two M.2 SSD bays the first one supports Gen 3 x 4 speeds the second one only supports Gen 3 x 2 speeds because there are a limited number of PCIe lanes on the Skylake chipset.
There may be other issues but this is what I remember off the top of my head. You should of course do your own research.
Basically you need to know the make and model of your computer to know the make and models of the M.2 NVMe SSDs you can install in it.
