I have the same mobo. SATA ports do get shared even if you use an NVMe M.2 SSD. It's a chipset limitation.]]> Fri, 05 Jan 2018 18:22:24 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6952&PID=42334&title=z170-extreme-4-m2-question#42334 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6952&PID=41092&title=z170-extreme-4-m2-question#41092 Author: huzidada

Hey guys. Just a quick question before purchasing an M2 drive for my system. Have a Z170 Extreme 4. I know usually if you use a M2 SSD it will share the SATA ports, but was wondering if I install an M2 NVME if it'll still share the SATA ports or it'll run of the PCIE lane?]]> Sat, 16 Dec 2017 06:40:38 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6952&PID=41092&title=z170-extreme-4-m2-question#41092
