You can purchase the M.2 SSD without worries, as it fits your setup. The Samsung 980 PRO supports various form factors, so check your MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX specifications to confirm compatibility.

Various lengths and configurations exist, yet most NVMe drives use a 2280 M key, which is reassuring. The 980 Pro, though functional, is limited to PCIe 3.0—performance won’t surpass that of a 970 Evo or comparable models.

All NVMe units use M-key technology. A few also support B-key, though they require an M-key for proper PCIe compatibility.
