Hi,
I am just about to build a new system using a Gen 4 motherboard that supports 4 m.2 slots, but I am only using two Gen 4 drives. For the other two slots, I'm going to use two Gen 3 drives.
My question is this:
Will the motherboard run each drive to its capabilities i.e the gen 4's as gen 4's, and the gen 3's as gen 3's. Or will it default to the lowest drive in the system and run them all as gen 3?
Specifications:
Motherboard Maximus XIII Hero
CPU 11700k
Drives (Gen 4) WD SN850 x2
Drives (Gen 3) Samsung 950 x2
RAM Crucial Ballistix BL2K16G36C16U4B 3600 MHz 64GB
I'm guessing it should be fine but I don't know for certain. Does anyone out there know the answer please?
Thanks
