Are you sure the M.2 needed is KEY M? The reviews I read stated a key B instead.

Hey Ray,
This might clear things up a little:
The key just refers to whether the socket has a raised section in the shown positions, if a socket has neither key, then a drive of any type can go in (as shown in the product description.
If you could link where it says to use a B-Key, that’d be helpful in wrapping my head around it or correcting me.

Hey Ray,
Yes, it’s keyed. B and B+M (two-gaps) works fine. But there’s no way to be able to mount M correctly with that particular board. If you have any other questions please let us know.

. It says “M”.
Hi Ray,
Good catch! You should see the correct lettering soon.
We grab descriptions directly from the manufacturer, so it’s likely Argon40 had this wrong on their site when they introduced the product, hopefully this happens less in future!

Fixed:
Is this expansion compatible with the V1 Argon (the earlier version with micro HDMI ports)?

Hi Andy,
Good news! The expansion board does work with both the ONE V1(micro-HDMI) and ONE V2(full sized-HDMI) case.

PSA - If you are getting a red and white screen that attempts to boot from USB and then fails in a loop you’ll want to check your SSD connector is seated as shown below.
