[DigitalInnovator9]

I'm a new member here and have been away from computers for a couple of years
so, I'm Building a new Gaming Pc for Christmas

and I have been ordering parts from Amazon I ordered the ASRock X870 Steel Legend WiFi 7
also ordered the P310 Gen4 NVMe 2280 M.2 SSD from crucial

But it looks tiny compared to all other SSD M.2 I have seen in the past.

My Question is
Can I use the P310 2280 with ASRock X870 Steel Legend WiFi 7?

Thank you

Thank you so much

The Problem is I'm still waiting for Amazon to ship the MOBO
if it were here, I would have tried it

Your reply makes me feel better knowing it will work
I just never seen an M.2 this small before
