M.2 socket 3
This socket allows you to install M.2 (NGFF) SSD
modules.

228022110 2260 2242
• The M.2 socket supports PCIe 3.0 x4 mode and SATA mode M Key design and
type 2242 / 2260 / 2280 / 22110 storage devices.
• The M.2 Socket shares bandwidth with the SATA_5/6 ports, and therefore the
SATA_5/6 ports cannot be used when an M.2 device is installed

The above info is provided by ASUS TUF GAMING B450M-PLUS II, frankly I've been very, very confused about the info’s. They stated it allows you to install M.2 (NGFF) SSD, NGFF SSD comes with M B key then they go on with The M.2 socket supports PCIe 3.0 x4 mode and SATA mode M Key design and that suppose to me NVMe slot. My question is here… is this slot compatible with NGFF and NVMe? I’ve got very confused?
Finally they stated The M.2 Socket shares bandwidth with the SATA_5/6 ports, and therefore the
SATA_5/6 ports cannot be used when an M.2 device is installed, but where are the 5/6 ports? They don’t exist?
Is anyone can shed some lights on this, thanks in advanced
