Hi, I'm kinda confused in terms of storage specs on mobo with B350/450 chipset.
For example, AB350M Pro4 R2.0:
But there is AB350M-HDV R4.0 :
For example, AB350M Pro4 R2.0:
This one is clear to me, on Ultra M.2 socket I can only run NVMe SSD and on M.2 socket M.2 SATA SSD (3 SATA lanes left).*M2_2 and SATA3_3 share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the other one will be disabled.
- 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10), NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug*
- 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Matisse, Picasso, Summit Ridge, Raven Ridge and Pinnacle Ridge) or Gen3 x2 (16 Gb/s) (with A-Series APU and Athlon 2xxGE series APU)**
- 1 x M.2 Socket (M2_2), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module
**Supports NVMe SSD as boot disks
But there is AB350M-HDV R4.0 :
So... can I connect 4x SATA SSD + 1x M.2 SATA SSD into Ultra M.2 socket and boot from M.2 SATA SSD?*Supports NVMe SSD as boot disks
- 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10), NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug
- 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket, supports M Key type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Matisse, Picasso, Summit Ridge, Raven Ridge and Pinnacle Ridge) or Gen3 x2 (16 Gb/s) (with A-Series APU and Athlon 2xxGE series APU)*
