I'm planning to upgrade my storage and I'm on the hunt for a good 4TB or larger NVMe SSD. My motherboard supports multiple connections: it has 4 SATA ports, as well as one Blazing M.2 slot (PCIe Gen5 x4), one Hyper M.2 slot (PCIe Gen4 x4), and one Ultra M.2 slot (PCIe Gen3 x4 & SATA3). I tried to upload a photo of my setup, but it didn't work out. For reference, my motherboard model is the ASROCK X870 PRO RS WIFI. I'm a bit confused about the specifications and I'm looking for suggestions on the best SSD to get that fits my setup.

If you're looking for solid performance, I recommend going with the Samsung 9100 Pro for your Gen5 slot and the 990 Pro for the Gen4 slot. These drives are reliable and perform really well. If you can, I’d skip SATA altogether and stick with NVMe drives for faster speeds.
Thanks for the tip! I'm a bit lost on selecting the right components, so this helps a lot!
That's a great suggestion! I've read that those drives are excellent. I'll definitely consider that when I make my purchases.
