Gotcha!!!

So my 2 SSD's that require speed (boot and game drive 1) will be plugged into SATA3_0 and1

The other SSD's are more for storage and I can keep them plugged into the A controller ones.

How much slower is that Asmedia controller?  We talking night and day difference?  Terrible?  Or only a little bit slower that might not even be detected?

Running windows 10 so I will for sure look at that optimize thing!  THanks for the info!

So according this this image:

If I don't plug ANYTHING into those far left SATA ports (the only ones that face upward) then I should be free to use the bottom M.2 correct?

Are the M2 slots different?  Like is the top M2 faster then the bottom or is it ok to use the bottom M2 as the only M2 drive.

THanks all!!!!
