I'm looking to upgrade my storage with a new SSD, but I'm unsure whether the MSI Spatium M371 SSD will be compatible with my MSI B650 Gaming Plus motherboard. My previous SSD didn't work, and I'm trying to avoid that issue again.

Yes, the MSI B650 Gaming Plus motherboard supports the MSI Spatium M371 SSD since both M.2 slots only work with PCIe/NVMe drives. It sounds like your old SSD was SATA, which is why it wasn’t recognized by the BIOS. However, keep in mind that the M371 uses QLC flash, which doesn't have the best durability and can slow down over time. I’d recommend looking into drives with TLC flash options like the Kioxia Exceria or the WD Blue series for better longevity.
What about the Kingston NV3? Would that be a good alternative?
