Asus CH6 Hero AM4 - Sata drive limit with NVME

Greetings,

Im working on upgrading my Ryzen system, and Id love to jump on the NVME bandwagon, but I have concerns as to how it will affect the usage of my other 7 sata drives (5 HDD, 2 SSD). I remember seeing somewhere that using an nvme drive on the Asus Crosshair Hero VI would limit me to 4 sata ports, however I cant seem to find that info again. Can some help me understand what the limits to nvme on this platform is? And if it does limit my sata drives, how can I work around this? A raid controller perhaps, though at that point PCIE lanes would likely become an issue.

Thanks for your help!
