[SOLVED] Can I install dual M.2 NVMe drives to the Z490-F Gaming motherboard?

[maloz1995]

Hello community!

I have a Z490-F motherboard that has a Kingston A2000 1TB M.2 NVMe drive installed to the first M.2 slot. I checked my local retailer and saw that they have the Kingston A2000 1TB on a 50% sale, and I am eager to get this. My only doubts are whether or not my motherboard supports dual M.2 NVMe?

Thanks for the help in advance!
