rigvelaMSI PRO B650M-A WIFI
M.2 slots and conditions
The board has two M.2 connectors, but use of the second depends on the CPU. Start with the complete board name: a similarly named non-WIFI board or a different revision needs its own documentation.
Storage sources reviewed: . An individual build and installed BIOS have not been tested.
Connector table
On a narrow screen, scroll the table sideways. Match connector names to the board and manual.

What to check on this board
For Ryzen 8500/8300, the recorded M.2 maximum becomes one. If another drive is needed, check an available SATA connection and mounting separately, without counting M2_2 as working.
Work through your conditions
Choose the SSD interface and length, then the known configuration details. CPU options reflect the RigVela catalogue and recorded family support; the required BIOS remains a separate check. Notes are calculated in your browser. The selected CPU, SSD model, connector, interface and length, and shared-connection choice can appear in reference links when navigating or changing language. Your build is not changed.
Before installation
Verify exact model and revision, installed BIOS, current connections, mounting, heatsink and height clearance. A disabled connector, an occupied position and an unsuitable interface are different problems. Do not erase a drive to diagnose its connection.
Documentation
For another revision or updated documentation, recheck conditions with the manufacturer. This reference covers storage, not every motherboard specification.
