I looked all over and could not find an answer to the following question. Can I connect both a M500 M.2 SSD and an M500 mSata SSD in the Asus Z97 Deluxe (Non NFC/WLC)? I just can't see the information on whether both can be supported at the same time.

It looks as though the M.2 slot replaced the mSata slot. one other question though. I have another concern though. Please check out this link. Specifically page 14, the diagram of the motherboard. The M.2 slot is number 9 on the diagram. It looks as though it might block or impede the gpu in PCIE3:

If anyone happens to know if there is an issue with this I would appreciate it. I was planning on installing two 780ti but was going to use slot 1 and slot 3 so that I could get some air movement between the cards if possible. I haven't read the manual yet to see if this can be done.
