I've got a MSI B550 Pro VC WiFi motherboard which dual M.2 PCIe, a Gen 4x4 and a Gen3x4. Currently the Gen3x4 slot is rocking a JBM585 SATA controller which I'm using for some of my drives.


Im wondering if anybody has any creative uses for the Gen4x4 M.2 slot? I was thinking in order to free up my PCIe 4x16 slot I could get a M.2 to PCIe Slot (physical adapter) to throw in my Arc A310 GPU since it really does not need to occupy the PCIe x16 slot it's only electrically a x4 card anyways.
