Hi everyone, I am building a mini-ITX based pc and the motherboard I bought is Asrock B650I, which has one m.2 PCIe slot in the front and one in the back. The issue is that the back one is obviously a weird spot, that ssd will have to be the ssd that just stays there forever if I don’t want to remove the whole motherboard for it. Just needed your suggestion on which ssd you would put in the back, The 1TB WD_Black or The 2tb MSI. The back would likely not fit a heat sink.

    If I recall correctly, the m.2 port on the front has a faster bus speed than the one on the back for that mobo. Don’t know if that might influence your decision.

      If there’s a difference, that’s probably true. There might not be a difference. You’d have to check the manual.
