Question PCIe M.2 adapter ?

[Jimmernick]

Hey I am looking to add a new ssd to my pc. My motherboard only has one m.2 slot which is already being occupied. I know they make adapters for the pcle port which allow you to add a second m.2 slot. Would this be better than me just getting a regular sata ssd for my motherboards sata port. Or will the fact that I am connecting it through an adapter slow the m.2 drive down/ cause any other issues to the point where I should just forget that idea and go for sata ssd. For reference I have the b450 tomahawk max. In short, what do i need to know about using an m.2 drive through a pcle adapter port in terms of the drawbacks.

Are you sure you're not talking about the NVMe 970 EVO Plus?

You're rights I remembered the wrong model.

I ask that your honor strike my statement from the record.
