I have an Asrock B450m steel legend Mobo. I currently have an Nvme drive in the M.2_1 socket and I'm looking to add and M.2 drive into the M.2_2 drive socket. From what i read in the manual that socket supports an M.2 M key drive up to Sata 6 gb. Will this Drive be supported? It's a B&M key drive. [WD Blue M.2 SATA]

It will work, correct.

Just keep in mind SATA3_3 will be turned off when using this M.2 slot, leaving behind three other SATA ports.

Hi there. I have an Asrock B450m steel legend Mobo. I currently have an Nvme drive in the M.2_1 socket and I'm looking to add and M.2 drive into the M.2_2 drive socket.

 I dont need any other drive suggestions as im working to a budget. Just need to know if this drive will fit and work?

 

Thank you
