Aorus z270x-gaming 7

[Loxocemus]

i have a question regarding the aorus z270x-gaming 7 motherboard, it has 3 sata express and 6 sata 6gb, could i use these together as 12 sata 6gb ports, ie do the sata express ports support using 2 sata connections per express port and do they not share ports/lanes (ie one disabling the other).

essentially, does the boards 3 sata express + 6 sata6 = 12 usable sata6gb ports?

thankyou for any and all help

no it has 6 SATA ports total
Sata-e uses 2 of those, so you can have 1 Sata-e + 4 regular Sata devices, or 3 Sata-e

thankyou for clearing that up, do u perhaps know of any boards with 8-10 sata6gb on the z270 chipset? i know of two the taichi and the supercarrier, the carrier is very expensive and the taichi has only one mini pcie with would be covered by my cooler of choice the noctua d15 (i need it for my wifi card)

thankyou for ur quick reply.
