My current system is a ASUS ROG Maximus Hero Xiii and I am using WD Black SN850 NVME's in the M.2_1 and M.2_2 slots. The 1st PCIe slot contains a RTX-2070 and all other PCIe slots are free.
If I read and understand the manual, I will get faster speeds out of the M.2_1 drive slot than the M.2_2 drive slot.
However I remember having a problem with one of the NVME's originally not being seen and I had to go into the Bios and change some settings.
I now have a feeling that the Operating system got installed onto the M.2_2 NVME. The reason I think this is that Drive 0 does not contain the operating system, but drive 1 does.
Now if I want to get the max speed out of the NVME drives, I am thinking that I should swap the NVME drives around and the operating system should go to the M.2_1 slot thus being the faster slot.
If I am correct in my thinking, this should work and the Operating system would then be Drive 0 and uses the faster speeds. I would like to post the JPG from the Windows Computer Management, picture is worth a 1000 words.
Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
