According to their manual, you have 2 M.2 slots on the board and a dedicated PCI-e slot that's optimised for expansion ourpose of up to four M.2 slots in total.

According to Asus:
*2 The M.2_1 socket shares SATA_1 port when use M.2 SATA mode device. Adjust BIOS settings to use a SATA device.
*3 The M.2_2 socket shares SATA_56 ports when use M.2 PCIE mode device in X4 mode. Adjust BIOS settings to use SATA devices.

It looks like you have 6 SATA ports in total so even if you did use SATA 1 and SATA 5/6 for your M.2 drives it suggests SATA 2, 3 and 4 will remain available to use for conventional SSD's and/or HD's. It also suggests you need to make BIOS settings to enable devices to work properly so pay attention to that.
