GA-AB350N and using the M.2 S1 connector (M2_WIFI) for M2 SSD instead WIFI

[ELD]

Hi All,

I am really interested in the GA-AB350N-Gaming WIFI, however I do not care about WIFI  on the board because the build I am preparing is going to be connected through LAN.

I was therefore thinking about the possibility of using the M.2 Socket 1 connector (M2_WIFI) expansion slot for an additional M.2 SSD (removing the Intel M2 WIFI chip)

However the manual and the specifications on the website are rather ambiguous about this being possible. The B350 chip set seems to support it.

Is there anyone that is currently doing this?

I could be wrong, but I would not bank on this support.  You can try and (I hope) it works for you, but you may not get the support or performance you are hoping for.
