  1. Thanks for all the replies, it’s much appreciated! So I would be better off using only one (1x) of the Nvme M.2 slots for ssd / as OS disk - then “normal” SATA ssd’s for all the rest?
  2. Hi everyone, I'm building a new gaming PC, coming from an ancient HDD-based setup. I will be putting together following setup: Core i5-9600k on Asus Rog Strix 390-F (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z390-F-GAMING/specifications/) and GTX 1080Ti. I'm planning to have 2x M.2 Nvme PCIe SSD's for the system, one for the OS and one for games etc. Now reading about the Pcie SSD's i've suddenly become aware that having two in the system might drop the 16x PCIe for my GPU to 8x or even 4x? Could someone please help me to understand whether this is the case here or am I just misunderstanding something? Seems to be much more complicated than the traditional "plug cable in and play"
  3. Thank you for the responses guys, much appreciated! Other thing I noticed whilst browsing Nvme-topics is the usage of the PCIe-lanes: will the 16x (single slot) be affected / downgraded to 8x if I use both M.2 slots with PCIe SSd's?
  4. Hey everyone! I’m building a new gaming PC. It will house i5-9600k on Asus Rog z390, paired with 1080ti. My plan is to have M.2 ssd for the build, but is there any noticeable difference between having let’s say 250gb dedicated disk for the OS + other 500gb for games, or if I just buy one larger(1tb) and house everything in there. Price for both options is around the same, one disk just having more space for the money. Thanks!
