As long as the drive is not the Plus version, you may be able to use an adapter in order to use that SSD in your MacPro6,1:

I have not tried this, but am, currently, researching a fix for a machine in my care.
Yes—works very well with the Sintech adaptor (and even with an EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink — use thermal paste for longevity!).
Just did this yesterday and it’s a great/fast/easy upgrade.
Do you need a heat sink in the SSD?
The stock (Samsung) drive(s) that shipped (from Apple) with these machines do not; unless the black, outer covering helps with heat. [???]
I have had both a Samsung MZ-JPU256T/0A1 (256GB) and Samsung MZ-KPU1T0T/0A1 (1TB) installed in my machine without issue.
Third-party drives may include or heatsink and/or require at least 10.13 (High Sierra).
