Hi.

I am thinking of adding a Samsung 970 Evo Plus, to my computer, however the Tampa2 motherboard only supports one M.2 NVMe slot, and I have no hopes of buying a SATA SSD instead. I want to buy a PCIE to M.2 Adapter, but before buying investing in this, I would like to know whether bandwidth is shared between the two PCIE slots. If it does, which I'm leaning towards it does, would if affect the performance of my GPU? The SSD will be used as a sort of expansion device for games and storage for video editing projects and renders. Having the SSD attached to the 2nd PCIE slot impact the performance of my RTX 2070 within games or would the performance cost be minimal?

Thanks
