I have two NVME SSD´s, one for gaming and one for Windows.
Does it matter which slot for each SSD is used?
Any speed difference?!

Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB (Gaming)

I would put the Windows install on #1 and games/apps on #2. If both drives are identical, it wouldnt matter which slot which drive went into. But if they are two different capacities, I would use the smaller one for Windows/Apps in slot #1 and the larger one for games/apps in slot #2.
