Hi,
Not that I've seen m.2 or 2.5" ssd the only difference is boot time
Any other benchmark m.2 makes no difference only in performance test does it show significant score boost/ disk score from reg ssd.

If you benchmark one component at a time, than that doesn't matter.

Interesting.

Is the Maximus XI Hero the Z390 equivalent to the Z370 X Hero?

Hi all,

I'm interested in adding a second M.2 drive to my PC.
However,
there's only one M.2 port on my motherboard.

I do have an x1, x2 and x4 PCIE slot(s) available and was wondering.
If anyone can recommend a PCIE M.2 adapter/card.

Thanks

George
