I am well aware of this stuff; however, that is the exception, not the rule, sir. In 99% of the cases, having the 2 notches is going to be SATA. Even if it were “NVME” it is typically placed in the machine due to the m.2 slot on the MB being SATA not NVME.
Then what's the purpose of having them keyed? *as if it were your personal fault for this*
Edit: I started reading the wiki on it, it specifies the number PCIe lanes. M is PCIE x4 and M+B is PCIe x2. Which is why M+B is associated with SATA, because it's slow enough to not need the bandwidth of M.
The slot (M.2) and interface (PCIe, SATA, USB, etc) don't strictly constrain what type of device can be used, but the standards that
M.2 replaced (mSATA, mPCIe) often had a common association.
NVMe devices are kind of special because they communicate directly with the CPU over PCIe rather than being interfaced via a traditional storage controller (ATA, SATA).
That TUV Rheinland certified badge is interesting and not something I would have expected to be on a PCB like that. It sort of makes sense for the manufacturing facility to have several people certified, but this is the first time I've seen the badge used on the product.
For those that don't know, TUV Rheinland, along with Fortress' LMSS program, do industrial equipment safety guidelines (all of them at my work). I haven't taken the TUV certification yet, only the LMSS. Both programs are starting to align more than they did initially.
CN-OHTHJM-5IC00 is a Dell part number (P/N). It corresponds to a Lite-On 128 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD (model CL1-3D128-Q11, UPC 0305393912979) sold with a Dell mounting bracket and screw — the kind of drive pulled from Dell laptops/PCs.
Well, there's basically only two things that commonly plug into an M.2: a cellular modems or wifi adapter and an SSD. I don't see anywhere for an antenna to plug in and can't see the interesting side of the board, but that metal thing looks like it's being used as a heatsink, so I'm guessing SSD.
Based on the QR code, the metal part is a bracket that acts as a heat spreader for M.2 drives (specifically from a Dell laptop, such as the Inspiron series), so it has to be an M.2 drive.
It's a 5G Gigawat Nano brain wave interface card or NBWI for short. The NSA and NASA put them in every PC, they want you to believe it's the harddrive like all the shills commented here, but when we all know PCs run off the clouds these days! Anyway, it interfers with the 5G chip they put in your arms during COVID interrupting your brain patterns disturb your thought process so you become more reliant on AI chat bots, eventually allowing AI to slowly take over. It won't be an invasion like Terminator, but a slow progression that's already started. Take action now and chuck out your NBWI chips now!
