    Hi guys, I got a cheap GeoBook 3 from PC world a while back and what to put a SSD in it. Of course there's no mention of types/compatibility in the manual. I looked at the M2 slot on the motherboard and it looks like it won't take most SSD's as they're keyed for both B+M types.

    The slot on the laptop has 6 pins on the small section. I take it this means it's a B type connector (Wikipedia). How do I shop for a cheap SSD of this type? Nowhere seems to filter by connection type!?
