What are regular sata devices?

Himanshu_1999 · May 2, 2017

I am planning to built a pc.
So I have chosen a gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H motherboard.

But it shows it is not compatible with regular sata devices.

What does it mean.
I have also chosen 1tb western digital internal hard drive(WD10EZEX).

Is this hard drive is compatible with this motherboard?

Thanks in advance.

That is just the 1 X SATA Express. The other 6 SATA connectors work with all SATA drives. Yes the 1tb WD will work with any of the 6 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors.

1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSD support)
1 x SATA Express connector
* The SATA Express connector is not compatible with regular SATA devices.
6 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors
* Refer to "1-7 Internal Connectors," for the installation notices for the M.2 and SATA connectors.

I choose the same mainboard (GA B250M D3H) but i want to know if i can use all m.2 + sata express + regular sata (3 devices in system)?
Sorry for my bad english and thank you.

JazT :

Yes, but you will have to read the user manual to verify which SATA ports may be disabled if using the m.2 port.
