" rel="nofollow - Hi I am creating a new build pc using the ab350 gaming k4 which has two M. 2 slots can i use either slot? I'm guessing there won't be any performance gain to be had by using the faster ultra M. 2 slot for me using just a regular 120gb M. 2 ssd thanks |

M.2 is the physical form factor. M.2 can host both SATA and NVMe protocols. The M.2 slot which is closer to the CPU can run both types of SSD. The other one can only run SATA SSD. Hope this helps. P.S. maybe a bit off-topic but this board is not really loved in this forum. Some people here are having bad time with it. Hope you won't become one of them. ------------- 1700X ZP-B1 (stock); X370 Taichi (UEFI 3.10); 16GB F4-3200C14-8GFX XMP; 256GB 960 EVO; RX 580 NITRO+ 8GB |

Thanks for the reply In regards to the motherboard it had good amazon user reviews and all the components I am using are listed in the motherboard manual as comparable so I'm sincerely hoping not to have any issues |

Just to let you all know by carefully selecting components which were compatible with my Motherboard my Build went ahead really well the UEFI already clocked my DDR4 to the correct speed and windows booted from a flash drive in one of the USB 3 ports on the back straight away with out me needing to change settings in UEFI and I had full mouse and keyboard access through the whole process, Windows 10 was fully loaded in around 10 mins  I can confirm every thing went really well and I am now in possession of an awesome gaming and |video editing PC |
