I've been looking into getting myself 2 M.2 sticks to make them into RAID 0 on my Asus z270-K motherboard and put windows in it as well.
However I've read the motherboard's website specs and it said if I use M.2 sticks, then the M.2_1 slot in SATA mode will disable SATA port 1, and "M.2_2" will disable SATA port 5 & 6.
Now what I'm trying to understand is, is there no way I can add 2 M.2 sticks to my motherboard without sacrificing SATA port 1 or 5&6? Or will adding in PCie M.2 sticks be the solution?
also if I need PCIe M.2s, what brand would be recommended for 512GB or 1TB?
