does AMD Ryzen have sata limitations?
in Intel motherboards (for example an average Z270 board) if you install one NVMe drive it would disable 2 of the sata ports does AMD have the same issue???

how do i know ? i have one Nvme drive installed but it didn't tell me anything

 

[scout_03]

check in your mother board user manual it will tell you with one you could not use with a nmve on the board .

i just checked,

it was just talking about how to install the thing and you need bios update blah blah blah.......

also checked the whole document (52 pages) literally didn't find anything about disabling sata ports when nvme is installed

EDIT: i forget to say that my motherboared is Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming 7 paired with Ryzen 2700X

from the specs you need to use am2 socket 3 mnve on https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X470-AORUS-GAMING-7-WIFI-rev-10#sp and plug it i the first slot then go on with install process also they dont tell if sata port will be cut but mnve could bet set in raid if you use 2 bios settings .

exactly, that what i need to know, does it disable it or not

PC Part Picker does not show any disabled ports. If the motherboard manual doesn't list it, then I'd be willing to bet that no SATA ports are disabled in you install an M.2 SSD.

ok, I did contact Gigabyte and this is their replay:

Answer:

Dear naifm92 Thanks for your email. Yes. Due to the limited number of lanes provided by the Chipset, some of our motherboards have the limit of M.2 and SATA. According to your model name, X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI Rev.1.0 doesn't have the limit. By the way, all of our X470 series motherboards don't have the limit of M.2 and SATA that you said. Most of our B450 series motherboards have the limit. Example: B450 AORUS PRO WIFI Rev. 1.0

thank you everyone

No sata ports are disabled, instead the PCIE x4 slot is disabled if M2B is populated.
