[SOLVED] Asrock B450 steel legend - install sata ssd (already M2_1 and M2_2 is occupied) question

[simtcr]

My mother board is Asrock B450 Steel Legend. Currently,
M2_1 is utilized by Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB PCIe NVMe M.2
M2_2 is utilised by Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2
Graphics Card on PCIE1

I would like to add 1TB SATA SSD to SATA3_A1/A2 or SATA3_1/2

Mother board manual says, https://download.asrock.com/Manual/B450 Steel Legend.pdf
M2_2, SATA3_3 and SATA3_4 share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the others will be disabled.
If M2_1 is occupied, PCIE4 will be disabled.

Will I have any issues adding 1TB SATA SSD?

Thanks.

As long as you connect sata device to sata port, that has not been disabled by use of M.2 slot, you should be fine.

Just don't add the SSD to SATA3_3 or SATA 3_4.

Add it to one of the other SATA ports.
