[opaque niche]

gen5 ssd dont realy matter

did you read the maunal

[elder matrix]

it splits the pcie lane to 8x tho?

which would be the ideal slots

i have 3 ssds
9100 (gen 5)
990 pro
980 pro

RIP

[elder matrix]

so would running the other 2 ssds in m.2_4 and 5 work?

[opaque niche]

m.2_2/m.2_3 cant be used and have have x16 to pciex16_1

[elder matrix]

yeah

if i use 2 or 3 it splits it into 8x

[opaque niche]

if was me run OS drive off cpu pcie lains and other drives off chipset OR high speed drive if you realy like the high speed file copy off the chiopset

[elder matrix]

so i was thinking gen 1 runs in ssd 1 slot and the other 2 in 4 and 5

[opaque niche]

i gess

[elder matrix]

alright thanks

[opaque niche]

did the maunal not have that info?

[elder matrix]

it does but its really confusing

[opaque niche]

how is this confusing

[elder matrix]

it doesnt state of gen 4 ssd will split

it says pcie gen 5

but actually running it now shows its running 8x

[opaque niche]

if you plug in gen 4 ssd its still takes the lains

[elder matrix]

yeah
