well i bought this board and will be running 32 gigs of corsair memory and
running the i9 12900k cpu also will be adding a 3090 whenever the asus white one comes back in stock
so the board has 3 m2 nvme slots also the board also has the hyper m2 card .
so i am kind of confused on how it works and what will be the best performance for os install and gaming
i so far have two 1tb wd black sn850s i will add more in the future
new to this m2 fast stuff lol so excuse my ignorance and silly questions

I will speak from my experience:

Asus Formula
12900ks
32Gb 6200 - running at 6400
RTX3090
3 Nvme x 1Tb

I am using 1 Nvme on M.1 slot for Win11 and 2 Nvme on hyper M2 card board (same brand, same model and same capacity - usind 3th. PCIE)
Running everything smoothly

okay so i have the hyper m.2 card installed and i have two drives installed on the card..
i have it in the 3rd pcie slot on the motherboard..
i also have the option in the bios enabled for the gen 5.
and only one drive is showing and i have gone into the partion manager in windows etc..
trying to figure out how to get the other drive to show up!
