Does the Google Enguarde Take an NVMe SSD?
Google Enguarde
Every one of 133 field reports observed SATA storage rather than NVMe.
That is useful evidence about the reported machines, but it does not prove that every configuration lacks an NVMe slot or that the installed SATA drive is 2.5-inch rather than SATA M.2. Check the service manual, connector, dimensions, and current drive before ordering.
Field reports can’t tell us whether the SATA drive is a 2.5-inch bay or a SATA M.2 slot, nor which M.2 length fits — check the service manual before you buy.

How we know
This answer is derived from 133 independent hardware reports for the Google Enguarde, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
