I currently have 2 SSD's and 1 HDD all on SATA. 1 SSD is only 120gb and the other is 240. I was going to buy an m.2 1TB and use my 2 SSDs in another build. While looking at the user manual for my MOBO, it says "The M.2 socket shares bandwidth with SATA_5/6 ports, there the SATA ports cannot be used when an M.2 device is installed."

Does this mean I can't have an M.2 and other SSD/HDs going at the same time?

Sorry for my ignorance, I just want to double check.
