I have an ASRock Z590 Extreme coming in the mail. 11th Gen processor also.
www.asrock.com
It has two m.2 slots:
1 x Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4 x4)
2 x Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4 & SATA3)
For my operating system and stuff I'm using the faster port the drive I bought will handle up to 7,000 mb/s.
But I was thinking of using the other port as a scratch disc for Adobe. I use Premierw, Photoshop, and I want to learn more about Illustrator.
Will using that second m.2 slot slow down the main one or shall I get SATA? I already have a 5 00 GB SATA drive I can use but I would prefer to try the faster m.2.
