Question ASROCK B450m Pro4 M.2 Storage Question

[Ascention]

I currently have an ASROCK B450m Pro4 motherboard and am looking to upgrade my storage. As of right now I am using the 1 Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4) and am trying to upgrade and fill my 1 M.2 (SATA3) slot as well. I have been looking into getting - Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, M.2 2280 to use up my slot on the bottom of the motherboard, will I have any compatibility issues or will I be just fine using both m.2 slots. Appreciate the help!

The only problem you might have is if you are using SATA3_3, in which case, that SATA header and the M.2_2 header share lanes so one may disable the other. Plenty of other SATA headers so shouldn't be a problem even if you need 2.5"/3.5" drive support. Otherwise, using the two M.2 slots should not be a problem and as you already know the M.2_2 slot is a SATA slot, not PCIe.
