Hi, i have the mobo stated above, and i was wondering if anyone happens to know if it supports multiple m.2 sdd drives.
the specs on the asus site states: "1 x M.2 x4 Socket 3, gray, with M Key, type 2260/2280 storage devices support (PCIE mode)"
does socket 3 mean 3 ssd modules or am i only able to use 1 here?? i have 1 m.2 ssd in there, but it does seem like more can stack on top of it.

thanks for your read

There's "1x" native support for M.2's (socket 3 is... well, the socket).

I've never heard of 'stacking' M.2's, they're usually side-by-side or quite a distance away on a board.
Some can run quite warm; stacking would be a bad idea all-round.

To use more than 1x M.2 drive, you'd need a PCIe adapter.
