Hello! I have R5E, 4xHDD, 4xSSD and now I would like to install ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280.

Manual says that only pcie slot will be "blocked" and not sata drives. So, will this new A DATA work on such an old MB and will it block any of my sata drives? I have 5930k with 40pcie lanes and only one GPU, 2080ti. Thank you very much for help
 
Solution
Installing an M.2 NVMe SSD only affects PCIe slots because NVMe SSD is a PCIe device.

SATA ports are only affected if you install an M.2 SATA SSD (which your mobo doesn't support anyway).
