Motherboard: MSI B550 Tomahawk
I currently have 2 Gen3 M.2 NVMe SSD in both M.2 Slots in the motherboard however I'd like to expand the storage using PCI-E to M.2 adaptor.
GPU in PCI_E1 covers the PCI_E2 and I have a wifi/bt card on PCI_E4.
I'd like to know if I could use the adapter on PCI_E3 and maintain performance.
But seeing the combination table on the manual(page 29 https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/E7C91v2.2.pdf),
it seems like it won't support it?
Would it help if I got rid of the wifi card and keep the adapter in PCI_E3?
I have wired internet connection, wifi/bt card is just for convenience to control PC using my phone/tablet.
