I have an NVMe 3.0x4 SSD. If I get a 4.0x4, can I use it as a boot device AND use the 3.0x4 on the secondary slot and still get full or nearly full performance from both? The only time I would use the 3.0x4 is for games that wouldn't fit on my Boot drive, and in that case I would barely be using the 4.0x4 I'm thinking of getting.

Yes, you can use a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD as a boot device and a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD in the secondary slot. The ASUS PRIME B550M-K motherboard supports 1 x M.2 Socket 3 with PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA modes for 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Processors, and 1 x M.2 Socket 3 with PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA modes for the AMD B550 Chipset.
