[SOLVED] I have an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING Sata port Question

[kars.jr]

I want to install an NVME SSD but I'm wondering what SSD SATA port will be disabled?



( Samsung 970 EVO Plus series SSD)

ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING | ROG Strix | Gaming Motherboards｜ROG - Republic of Gamers｜ROG Global

* When the M.2_2 Socket 3 is populated , SATA6G_5/6 ports will be disabled.

only if you use the chipset m.2_2 slot

Is there a way to buy a SATA port multiplier or something to put in more SSD?

 

[rgd1101]

exact how many m.2 and sata ssd/hdd are you going to have?

Have seen pci slot cards for that. It nice to have onboard nvme but sata ssd is fine. Thought I saw 980 pro out with the 4.0 support. Very nice in the benchmarks but for me in game I never notice this. Giving thoughts when price comes down a bit to picking up the 4.0 and use 2nd slot for 3.0 for my board only supports this its just b550.
