I just bought a z390 taichi motherboard and I don't know which m.2 slot should I use? There are 3 and only one has a heatsink(M2_3) is that the primary? The nvme will be the only dri drive installed.

Dear KoperaN,

Thank you for choosing ASRock.

All of the M.2 slots support SATA 3 and PCIe Gen3 x4, three slots has the same bandwidth.
If your M.2 SSD (system) doesn't have heatsink, we suggest connecting to the M2_3 (with heatsink) slot for better cooling.

Note:
M2_1, SATA3_0 and SATA3_1 share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the others will be disabled.
If M2_2 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_3 will be disabled.
M2_3, SATA3_4 and SATA3_5 share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the others will be disabled.

Thank you!
Yours truly,
ASRock TSD

Tengo tambien la pb Z 390 Taichi, funcionando bien con un Samsung 970 Pro M.2 en ranura M.2_3, la pregunta es, con la nueva actualizacion de bios 4.10, ¿ podria funcionar el adaptador Ultra Quad M.2 Card, colocado en ranura PCIe X 16, para iniciar Windows claro?
Saludos
