Hey guys. Newb here on a first time build. I only recently discovered this potential issue as I was reading some reviews on my motherboard on newegg.
This is an MSI x570 gaming plus board. And I read one review that stated the nvme ssd was not being recognized in the m2_1 slot. I wasn't sure if this was user error or something I should keep in mind when I boot this thing up. I installed a WD sn 750 nvme drive to the m2_1 slot and I'm wondering if I should switch it to slot m2_2 ? I just realized the sn 740 is a pci 3x4, and not a 4x4. The manual says (picture provided) the m2_1 slot supports 4x4 for Ryzen 3, and 3x4 for Ryzen 2. However I do know if that means they are interchangeable or not? I will be running a Ryzen 3700x
I was wondering if you might be able to clear up my confusion and tell me if I need to move the sn 750 to m2_2 slot? This will be where I store windows and essential programs. Really hoping I dont have to move it because I have it all together at this point, but I will do what I must! Pics below
Grateful for the expertise here as always.
