" rel="nofollow - 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.
