There are two paths to go here.
The first - and definitely more difficult to find - is an adapter that has a SATA controller IC on it and this controller exposes the M.2 SATA SSD to the system over PCIe. Here's the best example I could find: https://www.amazon.com/Ableconn-PEXM2-122-Controller-Express-Adapter/dp/B01D2PXV50 (obviously does some extra things).
The second - and more common - is a simple adapter that allows you to mount the M.2 SATA SSD and then access it using the system's existing (chipset) SATA controller. This comes in two forms:
- One that houses the M.2 SATA SSD in a case identical to that of a standard 2.5" SATA SSD. You would mount this drive as you would any other 2.5" SATA SSD. Here's an example of this: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-2-5-Inch-Aluminum-Enclosure-EC-M2SA/dp/B01N6PMZLW.
- One that mounts the M.2 SATA SSD onto a PCIe x1 card. The PCIe connector is only used for power. The card has a SATA connector that allows it to be connected to the system's existing (chipset) SATA controller using a standard SATA cable. Here is an example of this: https://www.amazon.com/JacobsParts-Adapter-Desktop-Express-Brackets/dp/B07PWB3G6K (obviously, does some extra things).
Hope this helps,

Either of those should work. Are you planning to (also) purchase an NVMe drive to be your speedy system drive? To use the NVMe portion, you need to make sure that the motherboard you use has NVMe support in its BIOS. Modern (9 Series or later chipset, 6th gen or later processor) motherboards have this capability for sure; older boards may not, however.
