[SOLVED] I need to know in what port I should put my SSD

[Karma.11]

I've recently just bought an SSD, I already have an old SSD that I'm currently using as my (C: ) drive.
And I need to know what is the difference between my two m.2 ports on my motherboard.

So I have two SSDs
https://www.technoworld.com/kingston-technology-a1000-ssd-480gb-480gb-m-2-pci-express-sa1000m8-480g (Kingston A1000 SA1000M8/480G) (The old one)
https://www.xpg.com/en/feature/596/ (XPG GAMMIX S11 PRO PCIE GEN3X4 M.2 2280 SOLID STATE DRIVE) (The new one)

So I'm currently using the 'ROG STRIX Z390-H GAMING'
And I'm debating on what m.2 port I should use for my SSD but I need your help

The ports I'm debating are:

1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (SATA mode & X4 PCIE mode)
1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode)

Thank you for your help ^^

Intel® Z390 Chipset :
1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode)
1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (SATA mode & X4 PCIE mode)

It doesn't matter in which one you put them. They are both PCIe 3.0 M.2 NVMe of size 2280. They fit in both slot with no SATA ports disabled.

Okay and which port is better overall?

Okay and which port is better overall?

M2_1 doesn't support SATA NVMe and M2_2 support SATA NVMe and PCIe NVMe. That's the only difference between the two.

Performance wise they are identical. I would use M2_1 anyway.

Which one is the M2_1 ?

Which one is the M2_1 ?

The one below the CPU and over the GPU slot.

Which one is the M2_1 ?

Will be the top one nearest the cpu

Thanks again for all of your help, I appreciate that ^^
