Something preferably completely plug&play with no bios.

Thanks
As I suggested in my initial reply, and has Timothy Miller has gone and found a link for, just get a PCIe to NVMe adapter. You will not be able to boot from that drive, and depending on the system's PCIe revision will impose limits on maximum performance. Again I don't suggest Samsung devices.

NVMe is just PCIe x4 in another form factor, more or less. This is essentially a mechanical adapter. x1 would be a severe performance hit.
