My motherboard comes with 4 m2 slots. I don't care about RAID but I very much care that my fastest m2 (990 pro) isn't being nerfed,

 

but this chart at the bottom is saying some jargon I just don't understand, do I need to understand it or can I just put my various M2 nvme drives (some fast, some super budget/slow) whereever I want?

Its saying that if you have a PCIE NVME in M2C socket then you will only have SATA ports 0 and 1 available as they share bandwidth.

 

 

 

I would use M2M and M2Q as the primary slots then M2P and as your last resort M2C

 

 

 

I doubt you will notice much difference in day to day if you were yo use M2C
