Hi,
I am purchasing MoBo and I don't know how to interpret "NOTE" under Storage section. Here is description:
"
(1) 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb / s Connectors, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, Intel Rapid Storage Technology 16), NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug*
(2) 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb / s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb / s)**
(3) 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_2), supports M Key type 2260 / 2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb / s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb / s)**
NOTE: *If M2_1 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_1 will be disabled.
"
I intend to use the four SATA3 sockets for four 3.5 HDD, and the two M.2 sockets for two SSD drives.
What does the "NOTE" mean?
Does it mean that if ANY ONE or BOTH of M.2 sockets are occupied, then ONLY ONE of the 4SATA3 connectors will be disabled (in effect I could only have THREE 3.5HDDs instead of FOUR)?
Thanks!
