Hi, I want to buy: ASUS ROG Strix Z690-F Gaming Wifi, bot now concerned, as my colleague says, he mounted 2 NVMe disk into M.2 interface and he lost SATA III two ports. They become unavailable! I need 4 SATA III ports and insert 2 NVMe disks. DOes it mean I will not be able to use 2 SATA III???

Question

Accepted Answer

NVMe runs over PCIe and does not limit the SATA bus in any way. The only limitation on the board is when you install a SATA SSD in the M.2_4 slot - then ONE of the 6 SATA ports is disabled, namely SATA6G_2.
