Does Minix NGC-1 support NVMe?

I noticed the M.2 stick is SATA (it has 2 notches for M+B keys), but the slot on the motherboard has only got 1 key (M key?).
Does the NGC-1 M.2 support NVMe drives (M key only), or only SATA (M+B keys, like the stock SSD)?
Thanks!

B key!

Looking as this image it looks like there can be some NVMe SSD with both B & M. :unsure:
The more I read the more I get confused!!! :LOL:

Ahhh, this clears it all up! o_O

"M/B key NVMe SSDs are compatible with M key NVMe SSDs. Both types of NVMe SSDs are designed to be plugged into the M.2 slot on a motherboard, and they use the same NVMe protocol for communicating with the host system. However, the key on the M/B key NVMe SSD is notched differently than the key on the M key NVMe SSD, so they are not interchangeable. The key on the M/B key NVMe SSD is notched in such a way that it can be inserted into the M key NVMe SSD slot, but the M key NVMe SSD cannot be inserted into the M/B key NVMe SSD slot."

Ah yes, good spot, the slot on the NGC-1 has the B key, not the M key, so SATA only.
I saw only one key, but didn't realise it was on the wrong side!
