M.2 to PCIe adaptor sata question
Greetings, I'm putting together a 'last' upgrade to my AM4 build on a b450 m/b. I also thought about another m.2 drive, except the board only supports one. My choices are get a higher capacity drive and partition it. Or an adaptor card for the secondary PCIe slot. The current m.2 takes up rather eliminates sata port. Remaining sata ports are used by ssd's for storage / Linux. I could sacrifice another sata port if need be. But my question is will adding an NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe adaptor to the second PCIe slot consume or affect any remaining sata ports?
I appreciate the help in advance.
