It's been a while since my last PC build and I got one of these NVMe SSDs.
My question is where should it be placed.
I have a GIGABYTE Aorus GA-Z270X-Gaming K7 and there are two M2 slots.
One labelled M2M_32G and the other M2P_32G.
The M2M is higher on the board, between the video card and the cpu.
The M2P is lower, between the 2nd and 3rd PCI slots.
I don't have my video card yet, and I installed the SSD on the lower slot because I thought it would interfere with the video card PCI if installed on the higher slot.
Does it matter? Is there any difference in performance if I install on the M2M vs the M2P? Should I switch it to the higher slot?
Everything is running fine right now, but it's something that was bothering me.
Thanks!
