Looking into building my first gaming pc.i purchased the Rog strix z390e motherboard.the manual isn't real clear on which slot to install my SSD.its the Samsung 970 Evo pcie nvme.iv e heard one slot could be slower than the other and just wanted to pick the correct one.m.2_1 or m.2_2.i know the correct slot for my ram per the manual 2*16 gb ram.newb question is it possible to install these backwards?they look the same both ways.g skillz trident z rgb.3200.i haven't tried to install them yet just looking at it through the package.thanks in advance for your time.

The Asus Z390-E manual (at least the one I have) states:
"M.2_2 socket supports PCIe 3.0 x4 M Key design and type 2242 / 2260 / 2280 / 22110 PCIe storage devices."
"When the M.2_1 (socket 3) is operating i PCIe 3.0 X4 mode, SATA ports 1 and 2 will be disabled."
No SATA port disabling is listed for M.2_2. So isn't M.2_2 the better choice if you want the option to use those SATA ports?
