   Thanks ASRock_TSD, 

As i see the M2_2 slot is right under GPU which is bulky and hot, would that require extra cooling for the SSD?

	Dear Tminer, ASRock Z390 Taichi has 8 SATA ports and 3 ultra M.2 slots which supports PCIe Gen3 x4 and SATA3 M.2 SSD. Because the [M2_1, SATA3_0 and SATA3_1 share lanes] and [M2_3, SATA3_4 and SATA3_5], if either one of them is in use, the others will be disabled. If you want to connect 8 SATA HDDs, you can only use one PCIe type M.2 at M2_2 slot. https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z390%20Taichi/index.asp#Specification Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD

	Hi, i currently got 8 SATA HDDs and looking for upgrade to z390 platform. Is it correct that i will only able to add 1 extra m.2 NVMe ssd to M2_2 slot?
