Does my motherboard support SSD?

All SATA connections support SATA SSDs.
PCIe connections will support PCIe SSDs if they provide enough channels for the card and are of a recent-enough version.
Other SSD form factors require their specialized connectors in order to be usable.

Did you miss the "SATA" in the description somehow? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2017-11-22T05:17:43.380
my mother support SATA 3Gb/s connectors (i guess SATA 2) – Jay Kapoor – 2017-11-22T05:19:50.920
In practice this is correct - although it is conceivable that a vendor locks the bios to only recignise some drives - this is a vanishingly uncommon practice, so it's safe to assume you can - moreso because gigabyte are not primarily a whole system vendor (like Lenovo, Dell it HP) – davidgo – 2017-11-22T07:33:54.430
Yes you can install SATA SSDs. Don’t expect too much speed as it uses only 3G speed. You can’t directly use M.2 modules. You might also use PCIe cards with SSD, however strangely enough only at x1 speed. – eckes – 2017-11-22T20:55:59.727
