The link above is the official link to my mobo and its description. I checked and the description says:
"6 SATA3, 2 Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4 & SATA3)"
When I look at the motherboard, I'm not sure I see a second slot for another ultra m.2 drive. Am I misunderstanding the description?
Forgive me if I'm missing the obvious here, English isn't my first language. Thanks guys
P.S. Also if you don't mind my asking: What is the difference between an m.2 that is PCIE based and another that is SATA based? I've done some research, and I keep finding explanations where they compare an m.2 to a traditional 2.5" SSD drive, but not the two m.2s
To make my question clearer: M.2s can apparently have the same "form factor" but be "SATA based" or "PCIE based" and this is where I'm confused
