    Hello !
    what happens if I put a 2nd non nvme M2 sdd on second port as upper first is occupied by a M2 samsung 970 pro nvme ? the mobo is a MSI X470 gaming pro amd m4.

    Best I can guess to say is to pop it in there, and see if the pci-e slot works. I'm sure you'll lose a sata port on the board, but it really does not matter if your not going to lose that sata port. Just move your platter drive to another sata port if it stops working
