+8 Deal Score

Cheapest 1TB NVME on the market right now. Performance is not bad. But for some reason, it is a B key format.

Edit: Now verified M key! Slick deal!!!!

technically PCIe X 2 drives SHOULD be B key, and PCIe x 4 drive SHOULD be M key.
this driver is indeed pretty strange that it is a X4 drive but uses B key.

Based on the picture, it's a Phison E12 (or E12s) controller, so pairing it with QLC makes it similar to Sabrent's Rocket Q. But agree with OP that making it B-key is strange.

So is your 2TB single sided? Asking because it is currently $189 also at MC.

They're not b-keyed. Count the contacts. B-key is 6, m-key is 5.

Ok, I had no clue there were key types on nvme.... My board says it's m key.

I'm mobile and at work so I can't even research right now lol.

Edit: ok, researched anyways. m key I need, thanks everyone for mentioning the form factor

I chatted with MC tech support. He said that SSD is single sided.
