Hi everyone, I have a Gen 3 SSD in the middle M.2 of my motherboard (Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi). I’m planning to upgrade to a Gen 4 SSD and need advice on placement. Since I don’t expect a Gen 5 ever, should I put it in the top slot or the bottom? I know the top can sometimes affect performance. Thanks!

The Gen3 hide is positioned close to the CPU, ensuring optimal airflow management.

They don't provide a physical presence. The board backs Gen 4, ensuring you receive the speeds. Maintaining composure is essential.

The leading option performs optimally on the CPU and avoids blocking the other PCIe port.

It's the mid slot configuration. The CPU lanes are still shared.
