I am in the exact same boat as you. I did my build last week, and I ordered 1x http://www.asus.com/Motherboard-Accessory/USB-31-FRONT-PANEL/ Asus USB 3.1 Gen 2 Front Panel because the Z270 SuperCarrier has 0x 3.1 Gen 2 type A, and I want to use my 
http://www.akitio.com/desktop-storage/nt2-u31 Akitio NT2-U31 Usb 3.1 Gen 2 TYPE A with it (doesn't support type C)
I tried to plug a USB key into my front panel. While I was able to see the USB Key's name show up briefly for a second in My Computer, I was unable to access its contents, and the drive eventually disappeared.

Please, when will the Sata Express for Z270 SuperCarrier be supported??


And @Samven, each Sata Express port count as 2 of the number of Sata ports listed on the # of Sata ports available in the specification, and on the Z270 SuperCarrier, support is not working!

I have ordered the Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac motherboard from newegg.com and eagerly awaiting delivery. My planned build will make use of all available SATA connectors (x6) for storage.

The Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac product page (as at 14 March 2017) has the 1x SATA Express 10 Gb/s connector referencing a footnote "Support to be announced"

If the SATA Express connector is supported I am hopeful it can be used with the motherboard's 1x USB 2.0 Header and ASRock Front USB 3.1 Panel.

I wonder if using the the SATA Express connector might limit the number of supported SATA ports. Any information about the SATA Express connector from ASRock or ASRock customers would be appreciated.
