M.2 Question

[Maximoose]

Will an M.2 drive go in this motherboard? It says it supports an M.2 drive but it doesn't say there is a PCIe 4x slot on the board. Do all M.2 SSDs use M.2 or is there a hidden M.2 slot on the motherboard that I am not seeing. Or is it that you have to plug the SSD into a port bigger than 4x (Ex. 16x)?

Spoiler

These are the M.2 Headers. all ASUS z270 boards come with two m.2s

Did you check the Asus website?

That doesn't answer if they're SATA or PCIe

Taken from here

So yes it does look like it is PCIe m.2s
