Hello guys. I'm getting an Asus Strix Z270E motherboard with a Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD. If at a later date I want to add a second 960 EVO, exactly the same, does this build support it? Thanks for the help.

That board can support (2) M2 ssd's without any drawbacks. If you try to add a 3rd drive, you lose use of the 3rd gpu slot/3.1 usb header/ x1 pci-express lanes, which are all shared.

Not sure how to check that to be honest. I'm new at this.

Oh great, so using 2 is perfectly fine without any drawbacks? Just want to make sure before I commit to the purchase.
