MB: ASRock B450M Pro4
SSD 1: Samsung 980 1TB M.2 in SLOT: Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4)
new SSD 2: Samsung 980 1TB M.2 in SLOT in SLOT: M.2 (SATA3)
Read through manual it says it wont work unless SATA slot 3 is empty, which is.
I am running out of ideas why it wont work... please help guys 🫶
I know its not x4 as the first slot only x2 but I dont mind the slower speed, I just need a bit more space. Is it even compatible? What I've tried to google it seems there shouldnt be issue only the speed is slower.
