That's terrific. Thanks for letting me know. I've read that on some other AsRock Mobo's some of the SATA ports share the M.2 sockets so I wanted to avoid the headache of "musical chairs"

All of your SATA ports should run just as fine, even if you use both M.2 slots.

I believe M2_2 accepts only SATA SSD, though. Only the first one 'eats' NVMe ones.]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2019 05:41:06 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10764&PID=60244&title=m-2-on-an-x370-taichi-motherboard#60244 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10764&PID=60229&title=m-2-on-an-x370-taichi-motherboard#60229 Author: JeffreyWiden

I'm in the process of building my new PC, and I want to clarify how the M.2 (M2_1) and (M2_2) sockets work/interact with the PCIE slots and the SATA slots.

As I read the manual, If I use the M.2 (M2_1) socket then my PCIE 4 is disabled; and if I use the M.2 (M2_2) socket then my PCIE 5 is disabled.

Do any of my SATA ports get disabled if I use the M2_1 or M2_2 sockets?

Thank you,
