    Just bought a GE72 Apache Pro. I want to add an SSD into the M.2 slot. These slots appear to be M keyed (5 pins on small tab). Will a B+M keyed card work in an M keyed slot?

    B+M carries PCI-E or SATA.
    M for SATA only.
    Usually on GE series, MSI provides two M-type sockets and one B+M socket
