RBP17 2020... Does the second SSD limit GPU bandwidth?

I just bought a 2020 Razer Blade Pro 17. From what I understand, It's common for a second slot to be empty, because adding another drive will go past the pcie lane limit of the system. This causes the gpu to run on 8 lanes instead of 16. I was thinking about just buying a second 1TB drive and installing the system in a raid array, but if it limits GPU bandwidth, I'll go with a single 2TB. In anyone has a RBP17 2020 with two drives, this info would help me out!

How to check the lane allotment? I am running 1TB as my Windows drive and another 2GB as my game drive. Never noticed any FPS deterioration after the upgrade.

Its running 16 lanes...with 2 NVMe installed

Awesome! That answers my question! Is it a 2020?
