Z170 Extreme 4 M2 Question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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?

	I have the same mobo. SATA ports do get shared even if you use an NVMe M.2 SSD. It's a chipset limitation.
