[SOLVED] ASUSPrime Z370-A. NVMe Driive

[Music Lover123]

• If I put an M.2 NVMe drive into the M.2_1 slot and set the BIOS for the M.2_1 slot to PCIE mode, will that disable any SATA ports?

• Will the M.2 NVMe drive in the M.2_1 slot run at 4x speed?

• Will that M.2 NVMe drive in the M.2_1 slot be bootable as my main system drive?

I picked out a drive:
WD Blue SN550 500GB NVMe Internal SSD

1.NO
2.YES
3.YES

1 x M.2 Socket 3, , with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (SATA mode & X4 PCIE mode)*1
1 x M.2 Socket 3, , with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (PCIE mode only)*2
6 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), gray

Your motherboard support first M.2 Slot as PCI-E x4 or Sata, and the second M.2 as PCIE but it's not mentioned at what speeds...
The motherboard is calculated so even if you populate all the slots on the mentioned specifications, not to disable anything.....
Yo will not have disabled Sata ports.
