[SOLVED] SATA or M.2 on AMD B550 chipset

[Lato75]

Hi everybody,

With the current sales, we come across some good surprises. For example the Crucial P2 2TB is a little cheaper than the MX500 2TB.

I have a B550 motherboard and my first M.2 (WD SN850) port is occupied so I was wondering if installed a second M.2 (Crucial P2) at the AMD chipset port is better than a SATA SSD (MX500) ?
Does 2 M.2 have an influence on the performances ?

Thanks for reading this post

Which specific motherboard? They differ.

Both M.2 ports support SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4.

The Crucial should have no problem in the other slot.
