M+B Key m.2 ssd compatible PCI-E expansion card?

[jdalvarez117]

Hello,

So, here is my issue. I have two m.2 based SSDs. My primary drive is my Samsung 960 EVO 500GB NVMe, which is plugged into my motherboards m.2 slot (Asus Strix x370-F). My other drive is a WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB, which is an M+B key SSD.

I had originally purchased a motherboard that had two m.2 slots(MSI x370 Gaming M7 ACK), but I was extremely disappointed by the lack of some features that were advertised and were not compatible with the board and switched to the Asus board. I need to know what adapter, preferably PCI-E based, is compatible with my WD SSD.

I really do not want to have to buy another motherboard, but its not out of the question as of this moment.

I really appreciate any help, as myself and two other friends of mine are also trying (and apparently failing) to figure this out.

Thanks in advance,

J.D.

your WD SSD is SATA in M.2 form factor.
you can get a 2.5" enclosure for very cheap and it will not impact performance.
or you can put it on the MB slot and get PCIe card for the 960 EVO

Thanks guys, I'm new to this whole m.2 thing. Last time I built a pc was back in early 2014, and I don't recall m.2 being a thing. Y'all are awesome!
