I've purchased a Gigabyte B550M AORUS PRO-P to pair with my 5600x. I'm curious about Bifurcation and how it affects running a second M.2 NVMe drive. Does it allow the first M.2 to use PCIe 3.0 x4 while also supporting the second in PCIe 3.0 x4? Or does it separate them from the main PCIe 4.0 slot? I don't plan to add another M.2, but I want to know which part it impacts most. Thanks ahead!
