GA Z170X G1 M.2 Raid 0 SSSD
« on: April 15, 2016, 09:57:10 am »
Hi I just bought a Z170X G1 mobo, still installing skylake 6700k, Titan X GPU,  two Samsung 950 pro M.2 pice nvme SSD in Raid 0, and a couple of western digital black drives.

My question is which two sata connectors can I use for my two black drives that are for back up?
I know I will lose all sata express connectors, I hope it's not the AsMedia ones 8 & 9?

Seems you figured it out.  The user guide also has images of the ports and what each supports based on the operate mode of the controller and type of devices you are installing.

I'm pretty jealous of this rig.   :'(
