The NewEgg page explains that the M.2 1 slot (Key M) supports only Intel 11th generation processors due to PCIe 4.0 x4 requirements. This means it won’t work with other CPUs. It’s likely they’re reducing performance to 3.0 instead of shutting it down completely, which could be a limitation for your SK Hynix Gold P31 2TB storage.

The M.2_1 port is completely turned off with a 10th Gen CPU. This board offers three M.2 slots, leaving two additional ones for adding an SSD. I’m pairing M.2_2 and it’s delivering excellent speed.
