[SOLVED] SATA Shared Bandwidth

[phinex1995]

I have built a PC with this Board: Aorus B450 PRO WIFI (Ryzen 5 2600, trident Z 3200Mhz 16gb (8x2) XFX rx570 8gb OC 1 HDD WD blue 1TB and a Crucial mx500 2.5" SSD 250GB as a boot drive) and Now I'm thinking of adding a Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD and make it my main boot drive so I would have one Boot/Importan software drive, One gaming/light work drive and the HDD would serve as mass storage). However, I understand how M.2 port on this board shares bandwidth with SATA and if populated, 2 SATA ports would be disabled. The thing is, Im a noob LOL. So I'm not quite sure if these 3 storage drives would be able to run simultaneously. Could some please spare me the right answer for this? I've been searching everywhere for this very specific case and so far no clear results at all.
Thanks!

Yes you can use multiple drives, but you need to look in the user manual to see the allowable drive configurations.
Section "1-7 Internal Connectors" outlines this for you.
