Sure, just to clarify, you're checking if your ASROCK B250 PRO4 S1151 ATX board supports an NVMe SSD. You noticed a M.2 slot near the CPU and wondered if it can accommodate other types besides NVMe, or if not all M.2 slots are compatible with SSDs.

It indicates whether m2_1 is in use affects sata3_5, which could impact other connected drives. This isn't something I'm very familiar with.

Only a limited number of SATA and PCI-E connections are available, with up to six options to select from.

You have three additional storage drives, which means if one fails, you can easily switch to a different port. Appreciate the support!

Not advised to purchase a SATA-based M.2 storage device. These units are uncommon and several current motherboards or chipsets no longer support them, which could complicate future portability.

I checked a few NVMe drives I was reviewing, and this one seems to be okay. Probably not SATA-based, as I mentioned earlier—no way I’m being too smart!

That connection is PCI-Express version 4, not SATA. It was important to know that if you purchase something from their evaluator and it fails, they would issue a refund (no debate), though I’m not certain about the current policy.
