Question What will happen, B450 AORUS ELITE Second M.2 in PCIE 3.0x2 Kingston A2000

Hi guys!
What will happen when I'll put second m.2 drive NVMe 3.0 x4 in a slot PCIE 3.0x2, will declared speed be just halved?

I've got Corsair MP510 240GB PCIe x4 NVMe as my primary system drive, time came to expand so I want to buy Kingston 1TB M.2 A2000 NVMe PCIe x4 but in my mobo specification second m.2 slot is x2. What will happen? What is the wise thing to do?

Thanks for the answer ! What would be smart? Leave it be - using MP510 240GB PCIe x4 as system and A2000 at half speed or maybe configure RAID (which one?) I'll just say I'm a casual user but wolud like to do this as best as I can
