[SOLVED] ASRock B450M Pro4 Storage Support

[nikeblaze]

Hi, I am very new to pc building. For mobo, i bought ASRock B450M Pro 4, and for storage I chose the M.2. SSD SATA3 by Western Digital P/N WDS240G2G0B.

Later, I look up the ASRock website and the closest P/N that the mobo supports is WDS240G1G0B-00RC30.

Is WDS240G2G0B still compatible with ASRock B450M Pro 4?

I haven't actually build the PC since the parts are slowly arriving. Should I strictly use the storage module as per ASRock list?

Thanks.

Thanks CountMike for the response. The WD SSD that I chose I think it should be fine since the form factor is M.2 2280. Wondering how long it would take ASRock to update the latest PN on their site.

They have very little incentive to check every SSD on the market. That's what standards are for. Any SSD that meet requirements for socket type will work.
