So what this means is using a M.2 SSD in the first slot then setting it to SATA mode will cause the first SATA port (where you plug in a normal hard drive or SSD) to be disabled. Meaning it won't do anything if you plug a drive into that port. If you add another M.2...

So what this means is using a M.2 SSD in the first slot then setting it to SATA mode will cause the first SATA port (where you plug in a normal hard drive or SSD) to be disabled. Meaning it won't do anything if you plug a drive into that port. If you add another M.2 SSD in the second slot then the number 6 SATA port will be disabled, meaning it won't do anything if you plug something into it.

However, if you use modern M.2 SSDs, you will want them in PCIE Mode for max speed. When you do this, all the SATA ports will work normally. It is just a quirk of having limited bandwidth available to share between all devices
