Intel optane with a second nvme drive.

So I'm making a PC that I wanted to use both an Intel optane drive with a 4tb mass storage. And then a Samsung nvme 500gb as my boot drive....I'm seeing that Intel boards will not recognize both drive can others confirm this? ☹️ 

 

Any idea of different configurations I can do? ?

Specs:

 

Amd Ryzen 1700 OC to 3.78 ghz

32 GBs of DDR4 

Asus Motherboard

NZXR H440 RAZER EDITIONS CASE

Asus Strix GTX 1080

Asus Strix Sound card.  

Thermaltake 850W BRONZE PSU

I think they changed the circumstances, so I'm pretty sure you should be able to accelerate the HDD and use the NVMe drive, but I'm not sure since people that have asked usually have a SATA drive and HDD, not M.2 NVMe and HDD.

Hmmm ok well what I wanted to do was one optane, one HDD high capacity, the boot nvme and an SSD for certain other programs. That makes sense?

What I'm getting from that is, NVMe boot drive, big HDD, and a medium size SATA SSD for games; is that right?
