Do Samsung NVMe™ M.2 SSDs work with any M.2 slot?
|
|
| |
There are different types of M.2 slots. A “B-Key” enables SATA or PCIe NVMe™ SSDs using up to 2 PCIe lanes, while an “M-Key” enables NVMe™ SSDs with the use of up to 4 PCIe lanes. Performance of PCIe NVMe™ M.2 SSDs leveraging PCIe x4 lanes is roughly twice as high as with PCIe x2 lanes, so the vas...

What is an “M-Key”? What is a “B-Key”? |
|
| |
“M” and “B” are different connector types for M.2 slots. A “B-Key” enables SATA or PCIe NVMe™ SSDs using up to 2 PCIe lanes, and an “M-Key” enables using up to 4 PCIe lanes. Please note that Samsung NVMe™ SSDs use the “M-Key” (to leverage PCIe x4 for maximum performance) and cannot be plugged into...
