can i use both of the m.2 slot there?
i use samsung 970 evo plus on the ultra m.2 slot
the bottom m.2 slot is currently unoccupied,
i plan on getting crucial p1 nvme
and put it on the bottom m.2 slot
will it work?
i don't really want to use sata.

there a large bandwith limit your going to hit with the chipset

[rich shadow]

it will still work right?
i don't really about the speed that much i just need storage

[slow reef]

yes

[rich shadow]

btw what is the bandwidth limit in my chipset?

i'm dumb sorry

[sharp maple]

A quick google search tells me you have 24* lanes

[dusky night]

Not really relevant unless you plan on doing full speed transfer from both at the same time.

ok thanks

[rich shadow]

thanks

[slow reef]

you only got 1 slot form cpu and chipset only got a gen3x4 lin for ALL other things meaning if you doing thing that connected to chipset it eats into it

[slow reef]

4 for chipset 4 for 1 m.2 slot on most 16 for gpu or other thing

[rich shadow]

my gpu is only 8 lane will it matter?

[slow reef]

and?

they are hardwired to the top x16 slot

[sharp maple]

8x is fine just means you won’t be maxxing bandwidth out
