Need help with this possible issue

[Lelouch69]

So I was gonna add a new SSD to my PC and I was like I should check whether the SSD is compatible with my motherboard everything else was good except for this

 

So like will my motherboard disable one of the SATA ports randomly?

 

Or will it disable one of the two I am not using right now?

It should say which one it will disable in the motherboard manual

Does it need to be an M.2 ssd? What is it for?

It should be described on the manufacturer's website or in the manual. On my Tomahawk, the SATA ports 5 and 6 are disabled when an m.2 drive is inserted.

Installation Notices for the M.2 and SATA Connectors: Due to the limited number of lanes provided by the Chipset, the availability of the SATA connectors may be affected by the type of device installed in the M.2 connector. The M2A_32G connector shares bandwidth with the SATA3 5 connector. The M2P_16G connector shares bandwidth with the SATA3 1 connector. Refer to the following tables for details.

the sata ports have names. They are written on the motherboard

ALSO WAIT IF MY SSD IS NOT SATA ONE BUT A PCIe ONE THEN IT WON'T BE DISABLED RIGHT?
