Hello,
I am putting together a new build with a Maximus XI Code and one Samsung 970 Evo NVMe. On this board there are two M.2 slots but I am a bit confused as to which one to use when only one M.2 drive is utilized. The manual makes it seem like you can use either so I believe going with the first slot would be correct. Would this be the correct configuration to make sure the 970 Evo is running at its maximum speed?
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks
Edit:
I just ran across this page in the manual that shows the first slot is capable of SATA mode as well as the 22110 form factor, but it doesn't specifically say which slot to use with only one M.2 so I am assuming it doesn't really matter as long as the first slot is operating in PCIe mode. Any thoughts?
