Question Secondary SSD

[daffernn]

Just wondering on where to install another SSD on the B650 EAGLE AX, it shows i have 2 extra slots and just wondering what one to put it in as someone said one is a cpu lane and one is a chipset lane and on the manual it says it has pcie x4 & pcie x2

Here is the motherboard, from what i can see the 3rd slot is x4 is that faster? or is the x2 faster because its a cpu lane

This board?

You have 3x M.2 ports.
M2A_CPU - PCIe 5.0 x4/x2
M2P_CPU - PCIe 4.0 x2
M2C_SB - PCIe 4.0 x4/x2

What drive do you have now, what slot is it in, and what drive(s) are you considering getting?
Also, what CPU?

Assuming your current drive is in the M2A slot, that WD should go in the M2C_SB slot.
