M.2 NVMe + 860 PRO Compatibility

[andiedee]

So i bought both of these SSDs just wondering how to install them on a ASUS ROG Maximus XI Code.
Is it just plug and play or do i put the 860 PRO on a different lane?
Thanks!

Make and model of the NVMe please? Drop NVMe into M.2_1 socket under the heatsink/cover. Drop the SSD on SATA port 1. I pulled my info from your manual, page 1-26.

Which 860 Pro?
The 2.5" format or the m.2 format?

If the m.2, it can only go in one port.
----------------------------
Socket 1151 for 9th / 8th Gen Intel® Core™, Pentium® Gold and Celeron® processors :
1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (SATA & PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode)*2
1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode)
6 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s)
------------------------------

The NVMe drive (which one?) goes in the other m.2 port.

No problem.

If using the M.2_1 port for the 970, SATA #2 on the motherboard will be disabled. All the others are usable for the 860 Pro.
