Standard M.2 module widths
are 12, 16, 22, and 30mm,
while standard lengths are 16,
26, 30, 38, 42, 60, 80, and
110mm. These digits begin
an M.2 type designation. For
instance, “2280-S3-M” indicates
a 22x80mm module, the most
popular size for SSDs, with
single sided components and
M keying. Each module has a
75-position edge connector,
with a cutout on the opposite
edge for securing via a screw.
A module installs parallel to the
host board to maintain its low
profile.

Keying helps ensure electronic compatibility for an “M.2 slot”, which may be one of
several varieties. Notches on the M.2 edge connector match keys in the M.2 receptacle,
allowing installation of only compatible modules. These profiles carry key IDs (reserved
profiles not shown):
For an M.2 module to fit in their device, users should check the device slot size and
keying. Most M.2 SSDs fall into either B or M profiles, with the primary difference being
two or four lanes of PCIe.
