If you mean normal SSD M2, then I don't think you need anything special, but it may depend on how you connect it to the board @Fernando will have to confirm about this. Best if you put your actual drive model # here so we're not guessing what drive you're talking about
Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks! If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM I view the forum like this, please bump your thread 1x every 24-48 hours if no reply
BIOS is not too old for Duet/Clover, I meant those are the only methods you CAN use, because BIOS is old and not UEFI
If you don't want to mess with those things, you need a normal/standard SATA SSD, not M2 + adapter (That will require those methods, unless maybe you get certain special M2 drives, Fernando will probably tell you which)

@caliber: Why do you insist on the usage of an M.2 SSD with your old mainboard, which neither supports UEFI nor PCIe 3.0? As I already told you within another thread, you will not be able to boot off an NVMe SSD (only known exception: Samsung 950 Pro). The usage of an M.2 SATA SSD instead of a "normal" 2,5 inch SATA SSD only makes sense for mobile devices, where the space is very limited.

I started this thread yesterday before your reply on the other thread.... No I don't insist it's the other one Lost_N_BIOS who doesn't know what a M2 SATA is and has been implying the M2 wording as if it was me. ok. the NVMe option is totally discarded I will not mess with 3rd party drivers because the performance difference is unnoticeable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3AMz-xZ2VM&feature=emb_logo

it makes sense for laptops because they don't have an external power supply I also want save space and the power supply cable because all other SATA ports are taken for HDD's
