Hello,
Recently i bought a new laptop(Victus 16-D1017nq).
Laptop is equipped with Intel core i5 - 12500H(Alde Lake, 12th generation), 16gb ddr5 ram, nvidia rtx 3050ti, 512 gb ssd, baseboard product 8A26 34.59, windows 11pro x64).
My primary SSD(m2, nvme) is Samsung MZVL2512HCJQ-00BH1. This is a pcie 4.0 x4 ssd, mounted on a PCIe gen 4 x4 interface.
So i bought a new ssd(Samsung 990 PRO 1TB) for the secondary empty slot because i need extra space.
I installed on the secondary m2 slot, but the 990 Pro isn't recognised as a PCIe 4 x4. The firmware is updated, the same and the program(samsung magician), and bios. I will atach some pictures with speeds of these 2 ssd. Both of these ssd are PCIe 4.0 X4.
The secondary m2 slot is PCIe 3.0 or 4.0?
Thank you all!

Hi:
This discussion regarding the model series indicates that the secondary M.2 slot is PCIe Gen 3.
The person indicated that the motherboard states, "GEN 3" below the secondary PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD and "GEN 4" below the primary PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD.
