Please clarify: The SATA connection ports-
There are the SATA express ports which I shouldn't use if I am installing an M2 80GB Intel board- correct. Then there are 4 more SATA6G connectors plus two at the bottom of the board "for data only" called ASMedia which are also SATA 6G connectors. I am uncertain about the function of each. I plan to connect a 512 GB SSD and 2 -1 TB SATA 6G drives (WD Black) to be used as backup drives (possibly RAID 1). My M.2 drive will be used to boot Windows and perhaps one program that I use everyday. Can you shed some light on this? Business not a gaming application.

stick with the 4 SATA6G ports.

if you want to use the ASMedia ports, use them with the HDD drives.
