[SOLVED] Questions about getting nvme m2 ssd for my custom build desktop

Hello
Ryzen 7 3rd gen 3700x 8 core 16 thread
32gb ddr4 ram
4x sata drives + 1x optical drive
1x RX 590
ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming Motherboard ATX DDR4

I have never use NVMe m2 ssd ever in my life. I am planning to get this Samsung (MZ-V7E1T0BW) 970 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 MVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-Nand Technology black/red to replace my main SATA SSD because my main 250GB SATA SSD is short on storage. The thing is my motherboard has two M.2 slots. One located below the cpu/above the gpu, and the second one below the gpu near the X470 chipset. Where do I install this drive? I heard that NVMe disable some SATA ports if I install below the GPU near the chipset?

Second, this Samsung 970 EVO interface is PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3. My mobo specs only allow to take PCIE 3.0 X 2 mode near the chipset, and PCIE 3.0 X4 below the cpu, above the gpu. Does this mean if I install this Samsung 970 EVO below the gpu/near the X470 chipset result not going to get Samsung advertised speed of 3,500 MB/s Read and 2,500 MB/s write?
Thanks for the help, guys.

Yes, you need to plug it in M.2 that is controlled by CPU to get full speed out of 970 evo.

None of my SATA ports are going to be disable?

No, not on that MB.
