[SOLVED] m.2 position

[OfficialKapn]

Hi, everyone,
does it matter in which position my m.2 SSD is placed (top or bottom slot)?

thanks

Sort of, depending on the model of the motherboard, the top M.2 slot would most likely have a direct link to the CPU while the other would have to go through a chipset then to the CPU. This isn't a problem in the long run but does have a teeny bit more latency. Also if you're filling up every PCIe slot on your board then sometimes the bottom slot is deactivated since the CPU has a limited amount of data lanes.

tl;dr, if the top is available, always use the top.

What, is that you're way of agreeing or am I missing something?
