Hi all, when the 7th gen intel cpu came out I purchased the z270 gaming k3 motherboard. It says on the official gigabyte website that it supports dual nvme drives in raid.
Today I purchased a pair of nvme drives only to find out the board has infact got only 1 nvme drive slot.
How do you install 2 nvme drive with 1 slot ?
Now, since I purchased this board with it supposedly having 2 nvme, if this has been mis speced on the site, I feel I should be entitled to a replacement board which meets the specification that is listed. Or is it just tough luck as I have only just noticed now a few years down the line.
Thanks

Greetings,
Please show us where it says support for 2 m.2 drives? I only see one mentioned in the specs.
Storage Interface
Chipset:
1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSD support)
2 x SATA Express connectors
6 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors
Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10
* Refer to "1-7 Internal Connectors," for the installation notices for the M.2 and SATA connectors.

Oh bugger, I misread the info. the key features list dual nvme pcie support, not M2..
my mistake, bit misleading though but nevermind.
