Question Asus Rog Strix Z390-E - HDD/SSD compatibility?

[jamdrelik]

While playing around on UserBenchmark.com I've noticed that the Mainboard I've ordered (alongside i7 8700k, Noctua NH U14S and Seasonic Focus Plus 650w Platinum) flagged SSD and HDD (similar to my current SSD and HDD [listed down below]) as not compatible.

I thought I've checked everything on Asus Website, but I honestly never expected there to be compatibility problems like this as both HDD and SSD are compatible with my current H310 board.

Could someone please help me figure it out?

You'll have no problem unless you plug the M2 into the same port the Sata uses - but unless you got 6+hdds you'll be fine.
M2 takes one Sata Slot

But where to connect? There are two M2 slots.
I've also read this in a forum https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthre...ith-Nvidia-GPU-installed-(2070-or-1070)/page2

Now I'm concerned (again).
So where to put the ssd and what to do if my gtx 1070 isn't being recognized by the mobo? I just don't want to run into the problem these guys had
