Okay so my motherboard is Asus Z170A and i currently have a 1TB HDD and 256 PNY SSD.

And i recently bought Samsung 970 evo 500gb m.2 nvme and 1TB 860 EVO ssd.

You need to look in the user manual for the available configurations.

this is why they include a copy of the manual and have it available for download on their website. look in the manual to see how many SATA and/or M.2 slots it has. those are used for storage devices

pg 1-24
"The M.2 socket shares SATA ports with SATA Express. Only one SATA device could be activated. To use an M.2 SATA device, refer to section 2.6.8 Onboard Devices Configuration regarding the BIOS switch"

So that would seem to say that the m.2 port does not disable any of the regular SATA ports.
Or, it would disable SATA 1 & 2. Leaving 3-6 available.
