I have a B&M key M.2 SSD which I want to use as an external storage device (via USB) but I'm not sure what technology it uses. My research online says that B&M key SSDs use SATA, but on the label of my SSD it says PCIe GEN3 NVME.

Can anyone help? I've attached an image of the SSD below.

Thank you

Your key seems to be this one :

Lenovo 128 GB SSD NVMe PCIe m.2 SSS0R27340 Union Memory with Bracket

enter image description here

It is described as :

UNION MEMORY 128GB SOLID STATE DRIVE SSS0R27340 01FR572. UNION MEMORY 128GB SOLID STATE DRIVE SSS0R27340 01FR572. Condition: New, Features: Removable, Manufacturer Warranty: None, MPN: 01FR572, Interface: NVME, Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Compatible With: PC, Storage Format: HDD & SSD, Product Line: union, Drive Type(s) Supported: Internal SSD, SSD (Solid State Drive), Form Factor: 1.8 in, Brand: Union, Type: Internal SSD

Answer : The Interface is indeed NVME. The label is correct.

A M.2 add-in card with B and M keys has access to the common feature set of B and M.

  • B: PCIe ×2, SATA, USB 2.0 and 3.0, audio, UIM, HSIC, SSIC, I2C and SMBus
  • M: PCIe ×4, SATA and SMBus
  • B+M: PCIe ×2, SATA, SMBus

The card you have is a PCIe NVMe card. It is very unlikely the label would lie.
