You possess two M.2 storage bays for SSDs, though your CPU only features PCIE Gen 3.0. This allows two Gen 3.0 SSDs—one in the upper slot and one in the lower slot. As noted on the site: - One M.2 socket (M2_1) supports M Key 2242/2260/2280 up to Gen4 x4 (64 Gb/s) with 11th Gen Intel Core processors, or Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) with 10th Gen Intel Core processors. * If the M2_2 is filled with a SATA device, the second slot will be unavailable.
Generally, place the fastest SSD in the top slot close to the CPU. The model with a heat shield is better since it’s managed directly by the CPU rather than the motherboard’s chipset.
