I recently bought a gigabyte-Z170X-Gaming 3 motherboard, the motherboard has two M.2 ports, and I plan to use both, but it seems that using the two ports will reduce the number of SATA ports that can be used.
My questions are how many SATA ports will remain usable after installing two M.2? and is there a difference between using raid 0 and not using it?
The motherboard has 6 SATA ports.
Here is a link to the motherboard's manual:

The tables for the different M.2 configuration are found on page 17.
