I am considering buying 2 ASROCK Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX/ac motherboards, but I have a question before buying. This motherboard has 4 SATA3 slots (SATA3_0, SATA3_1, SATA3_2, and SATA3_3) and 2 M.2 slots (M2_1 and M2_2). The motherboard manual says "if M2_1 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_1 will be disabled". My question is: does this disabling apply only to "SATA-type" M.2 devices or also to NVME-type devices? That is, if I connect an NVME device like the Samsung 970 EVO to M2_1, will it still disable SATA3_1? I want to simultaneously connect 6 storage drives to the motherboard as follows: M2_1: Samsung 970 EVO (NVME device) M2_2: Samsung 970 EVO (NVME device) SATA3_0: 2.5" hard drive SATA3_1: 2.5" hard drive SATA3_2: 3.5" hard drive SATA3_3: 3.5" hard drive Is this possible or is it not possible because SATA3_1 will be disabled in this configuration? Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions! |

My NVME drive in M_1 disabled Sata in slot 0 and 1. Is there anything in BIOS to fix this? It's a Samsung EVO 970 NVME drive.

Dear Amdir,
Thank you for choosing ASRock. Regarding your case, which motherboard are you using? Also, please clear CMOS firstly and update BIOS to the latest version to check. Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD |

Sorry about that. It's a Z390 Taichi. Cmos is clear and BIOS is the latest version.

Dear Amdir,
Z390 Taichi [M2_1], [SATA3_0 and SATA3_1] share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the others will be disabled. Please connect the NVMe SSD to M2_2 then all SATA ports can be used. (Please check the specification of Storage) https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z390%20Taichi/index.asp#Specification Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD |

Dear Amdir,
The [M2_3], [SATA3_4 and SATA3_5] share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the others will be disabled. Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD |

Hi, I have a Z390 Extreme 4 I tried to install a 970 EVI NVMe M.2 at M 2_1 and M 2_2 Both times other Sata drives were disabled. I thought if it was an NVMe it would not disable. Any thoughts, any way to get all the drives to work? Thanks |
