Thanks for the quick replies, very helpful. I'll use slots 3 and 4.

Hi, Just in the process of building a new PC and have a quick question regarding where to put my M.2 drives. I have two Samsung 990 Pro 2TB drives and I want to install them on a MSI MPG Z790 Carbon WIFI board. There are five M.2 slots on the board with the following specs: M.2_1 Source...
