Looking for advice on configuring multiple M.2 NVMe drives on your motherboard? Many users have questions about which SATA ports are inactive, which slots handle higher speeds, and how the system interprets these settings. Clarifying this setup can help optimize performance.

Typically the part nearest the CPU should perform best, though it might vary based on the connected drives. Refer to the manual for details.

They match in top speed (PCIe x4), but with Z370 all M.2 ports linked to the chipset, the overall maximum speed remains PCIe 3.0 x4 equivalent for the SSDs.

Sure, try to simplify it. When you mention "capped," it means your drive speed is limited to 4. With two M.2 SSDs, does that split the workload evenly between them, or can both run at full speed together? You're trying to use two Samsung EOS 960 Plus drives on your PC, but some say SATA 4 and 5 are disabled. That’s okay if it’s already off. Also, are you sure the M.2 SSDs are PCIe-based and not SATA? And is there anything else you might be overlooking? You’re just starting out with computers—good luck!
