There are two types of M.2 SSDs: M.2 SATA SSDs and M.2 PCIe SSDs. This motherboard only supports
M.2 PCIe SSDs. Be sure to verify the type of M.2 SSDs you want to use. Please note that an M.2 PCIe
SSD cannot be used to create a RAID set with a SATA hard drive. Please navigate to the "Configuring a
RAID Set" page of GIGABYTE's website for instructions on configuring a RAID array.
