[nomorehackers123]

im very new to the nvme or even m.2 in general. i am currently building a new pc and i want to use a 1tb wd black nvme as my boot drive. and i also have a 2tb wd blue 2.5" ssd. and finally i have a 12tb wd ultrastar hdd i want to use in my system as well. will all of this work and be compatible? or what would i have to do?

Yes you can, no problem.

Yeah that'll be fine. Make sure you only have the boot drive connected when installing windows to prevent it hiding system files on other drives (it does that and it can be a problem).

My setup is similar(ish) - 512Gb NVME boot drive, 1TB 2.5" SSD for games, 8TB RAID 0 for storage (backed up remotely), 2TB drive for some other stuff.
No problems, it all just works.

that is pretty much how mine is going to be as well. the nvme for boot drive. ssd for games and the hdd for everything else/ backup

One of your SATA PORTS will probably be disabled with the M2 , see manual for which one it is.
But that setup is no problem you have plenty of SATA ports.

It's port 2 and only if using a SATA mode SSD, no issues with the NVME suggested.

From the link
"** When M.2_1 socket 3 is operating in SATA mode, SATA port 2 will be disabled."
