@Hilbert Hagedoorn : typo on last page: "This 2TB SSD has a whopping 1 GB DRAM cache, and that does add to the bill of materials alright. ". Should be 2, right?

Putting a 2TB UD70 into my son's r5 2600 rig today after drive shows up.

Asrock website says his m.2 slot 2 is different...

AsRock B450M Pro4 ----> STORAGE:
- 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 PCI-E up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s)
- 1 x M.2 Socket (M2_2), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module
<---------- this one

...That means the 2nd M.2 slot will limit any drive to ~800mb/sec, right?

I have a PCI-E adapter from my old i7 rig somewhere but if I'm misinterpreting ^that^, I'd just assume slap it on the motherboard without an unsightly adapter. (glass case)
