So on pcpartpicker.com I made a build and it only has 1 compatibility check it says "The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled."

anyone know what this means? Here is my build.

Hey, this means that if you connect a m2. Drive to the m.2 slot the SATA 6.0 gbs port wont be useable because the bandwidth is going to the m.2 and its shared, this wont be a problem unless you plan to use both!
