Hello as the title says briefly im trying to figure out what these multiple lanes are. My friend told me just because I have 3 m.2 slots doesnt necessarily mean it can support 3 m.2 nvme drives. How would I go about determining this lane sharing specifics? what exactly is x4 vs x2 or lane sharing at all? How can i tell if my board supports multiple m.2s?

I'm looking at the manual and its hard to decern what exactly is going do i lose support for certain sata ports? which ones? and how is that determined? Does anyone have experince with running 2 m.2 960 nvmes on this board? i want to get rid of my ssd and just run 2 nvmes and run 3 hard drives along with it and was wondering if that is possible.
