Many people say the sure way to distinguish an M.2 SATA SSD from an M.2 NVME SSD is the card edge key. SATA=B+M key while NVMe=M ksy.
I don't think so. There are M.2 NVMe SSDs with B+M keyed card edge!
Has anyone ever seen one?
 
Solution
There's plenty of B+M NVMe drives, they're limited to x2 lanes. Anything Phison E8/E8T-based, the WD SN500 (SanDisk controller), SX6000 (original, Realtek controller), NM500/520 (Marvell controller), etc.

Thanks for your reply. The WD Blue SN500 NVMe SSD is an excellent example of refutation of the claim that ALL NVMe SSDs are M only Keyed.
