Hi, I’m reading through the ASUS Tuf manual and I thought this mobo only had front Panel IO for audio. The manual under front IO section 2.1.7 shows usb 3.2 gen 1 and USB 2.0 connector in addition to audio
What's the question? That you're unsure what these other front IOs are?
In short, as
@Inspireless Llama says, they're just the connections to the front of the case. I.e. the audio connections, usually audio out and mic in at the front of the case, USB 2, and USB 3 (5gbps). They are what connect the ports at the front of the case to the mobo.
Hi, yes I have photos on two external drives and I think I’m going to put them in cloud storage well. Storage will be music applications, games phot editing, not that much video. Kind of an everything computer. I don’t have a particular storage map in mind. I figured a 1tb was good stuff I’m regularly using and the second drive to store photos etc and possibly some bigger programs that aren’t very important. Should I just stick to my 1 tb mve ssd and maybe a 1tb SSd?
You'll want to plan a little ahead storage wise. If you buy 2 x 1TB SSDs and then fill them up, and then get another 1TB SSD, you end up with multiple 'small'(er) drives to faff around with and juggle content between. Whereas if you suspect you may need more storage and so in addition to your 1TB NVMe you buy a (e.g.) 2TB Crucial MX500, you end up with a tidier case and an easier to manage storage setup.
Same applies to hard drives. If you were going to buy a 2TB HDD because it's 'enough' you might actually want to buy a 4TB HDD instead.
I wouldn't buy another NVMe SSD because you'll then use up both M.2 slots. In general usage an NVMe SSD won't give much, if any, benefit over a Sata SSD. While going with a Sata SSD keeps the M.2 slot free for a time when PCIe 4.0 SSDs have matured - and maybe by then there will be real benefits to the faster storage.
So, in addition to your 1TB NVMe you already have I'd probably be thinking about a 2TB SSD (2.5") or a 4TB+ HDD rather than another 1TB SSD.
