I recently purchased a MSI Z270 motherboard and the first thing i tried to put in it was a nvme ssd M.2 card and when i took the cover off the socket one of the pins looked out of place like it had a dark spot on it could it be a broken pin? I cant tell is this still useable and if it is would it run at a slower speed or just not at all?

Odd. To be honest, with all the NVMe SSDs I've installed I've never actually looked at the connector on the board! You only really have two options. Either give it a try or rma the board
