How to connect the SSD (M.2 B-M key) to the platform in hardware

[TXue01]

I will choose an SSD application in an embedded system.

SSD interface: M.2 B-M key

Platform interface: M.2 B key PCIe Gen3 X2/X1

1. I hope you can recommend an SSD.
2. I hope to give me some hardware reference design or documentation, can tell me the hardware connection method of the platform board M.2 interface.

Thanks.​
