1) BIOS updated ?
2) SATA 5/6 in use ?
3) swap m.2 #1 and m.2 #2 ?

Side track abit, is there a need to store os in 1 storage and data in another if both types of storage is the same ?

Ie, os in smaller ssd, data in bigger ssd.

My games are stored in bigger ssd but I don’t see the need to separate them. Thinking of like getting 1x m.2 and put os and games everything there

No need, so long as the data is in a separate partition.

if you separate, both os and games can perform at max speed. if you combine into 1, background task may slow it down
