2x m2 drives

[Sedgey123]

Hi,

I am wondering if having 2 m2 drives affects anything?

I am getting asus rog strix z490-f gaming mobo and at the moment i have selected 2x 1Tb Samsung 970 Evo plus and i was wondering if there is a downside to this apart from cost of course.

I have tried looking around but can't really find a clear answer for my user case so thought it would be best to ask here!

Thanks in advance.

Just found this on the motherboards spec on the asus website:
*When M.2_1 is operating in SATA device, SATA6G_2 will be disabled.
** M.2_2 shares bandwidth with SATA6G_56. When M.2_2 is populated SATA6G_56 will be disabled.

So i am right in thinking it wont steal any PCIe lanes?

Looking at it right now, thanks for the suggestion
