Yes, most M.2 SSD should work. Check this list for already tested and supported SSD for your motherboard model: https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/A320M/index.asp#Storage" rel="nofollow - https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/A320M/index.asp#Storage

It's always a good idea to google if your desired SSD model has some issues/incompatibilities.

ASRock created the "Ultra" label back in ~2014 to differentiate typical M.2 slots of the era (that used 1x or 2x PCIe v2 lanes) from the new hotness --- 4x PCIe v3 lanes.

PCIe v2 is pretty-much extinct on the desktop nowadays --- everything is v3 --- so the label is pretty pointless.

"Ultra" == 4x PCIe v3 lanes == ~4GB/s maximum transfer speed.
