[SOLVED] Does the m.2 slot used effect the speed of m.2 NVMe drives?

[hailedev]

Hello,
I have a Gigabyte AORUS z390 motherboard and I noticed that there are 3 m.2 slots

• m2m (top)
• m2a (middle)
• m2p (bottom)

I just recently purchased an m.2 NVMe drive and was wondering if the slot that I install it on will effect the speed in any way? I have never installed an m.2 drive before and was wondering if there is an optimal slot - I checked the motherboard manual and it doesn't seem to be too clear, it seems to disable some sata ports depending on the slot but it doesn't say anything about speeds.

Many thanks

Nope

1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSD support) (M2M) - 1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSD support) (M2A) - 1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280 PCIe x4/x2 SSD

So they all operate at teh same speed
