I looked at that option in the BIOS and don't understand what that does, or what I should set it to.

That didn't change anything. Thanks for the suggestion, however.

Hey Doug,

First off, I would like to express my gratitude for documenting your experience with the X670E Pro RS. I am one of the individuals who plan to use this board to grind lots of data. As I work in the film industry, I require a substantial amount of storage space, so I carefully selected and ordered this board (currently in transit). The ASRock X670E Pro RS is advertised to have five M2 slots and six SATA ports, which is exactly what I need.

However, I am concerned that there might be exceptions or compromises that ASRock has not disclosed on their product page. There is no mention that I cannot use all of the advertised storage ports simultaneously. This is troubling to me as I do not want to find out after receiving the product that I will be unable to use all of my drives.

Any updates? Have you contacted support directly? Is this still an issue? Should I cancel my order? I'll be using a 7950X, 128GB of RAM, five M2 SSDs, and six SATA SSDS. My other rig is based on an MSI board, and when they say their product support X number of ports, they mean it. I'd never even consider it to be a problem. This is a first for me.

Appreciate your feedback. Cheers!
