Help with Sata ports

[mike123159]

I have the z270 asrock killer sli/ac motherboard and I am wondering which Sata ports are connected to the native chipset?

[airdeano]

all are connected to the Z270 chipset. as explained in the manual, if using multiple SATA ports in combination of M.2 drives, certain ports become unavailable if using M.2 drives:

2.9 M.2_SSD (NGFF) Module Installation Guide
The M.2, also known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a small size and
versatile card edge connector that aims to replace mPCIe and mSATA. The Ultra M.2
Socket (M2_1 and M2_2) supports SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module
up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s).
* If M2_1 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA_5 will be disabled.
* If M2_2 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA_0 will be disabled.
