| 1474527 | 2021-01-14 10:52:00 | I am not familiar with M.2 SSDs (learning curve) and could use some advice. I am led to believe that a B and M keyed SSD card is compatible with an M keyed SATA socket but need confirmation. Most of the M.2 SSD cards available are B+M keyed.10772 Will a B+M SSD be OK to mount onto my M keyed external enclosure motherboard? See attached picture. |

| 1474529 | 2021-01-14 19:39:00 | This is the narrow motherboard inside an external USB enclosure to mount a 22mm wide Sata SSD. There are no Mfr or Model markings on it. From China. |

| 1474530 | 2021-01-14 21:14:00 | For clarity: A few months ago I purchased on Ebay what was described as a new fully working plug & play external M.2 SSD. When delivered I found that there was no SSD board inside the enclosure - only the 'M' keyed Sata pcb on which to mount the SSD. On complaining to the seller, He quickly refunded my money and withdrew the advertised item off Ebay and did not want the item returned. So, now I figure I will use the enclosure by purchasing an M.2 Sata SSD to mount inside. My posted question relates to the compatibility issue of plugging a B+M keyed Sata SSD board into the 'M' keyed Sata socket on the interface board as most of the M.2 SSDs I have seen advertised have two keyslots, 'B&M'.

| 1474531 | 2021-01-15 11:55:00 | OK, Found the answer. The B+M keyed device can be used in all three socket forms : 'B', 'M' and 'B+M' | blanco (11336) | ||
