So I am currently looking to buy an m.2 SSD and the best one (for the price) I can find, as I understand, is in the a B+M key, the problem is, is that my motherboard only has a B (or M I can't tell) port and was wandering if it would still work.

M.2 SSD keying

 

a b+m should work whether you have a b or m slot on the motherboard, what motherboard do you have?

Hi thanks for the quick response.

I have a H97I-Plus

That motherboard has an M key for the m.2, so only an M or B+M key drive would work (I think)

Based on your diagram I would have thought it to work as all the pins would still connect to the drive as the B+M doesn't have anymore pins, but only less pins.
