The Asus ROG Strix X570-E features two slots on the top and potentially M.2 slots on the back. Confusion arises because some sources mention four slots, but checking ASUS' site clarifies the actual configuration.

There are two slots available and two settings per slot. Connectors support PCI-E 3.0 or 4.0.

Consider stating the capability directly with clear numbers to avoid confusion.

The guide remains helpful throughout. 2 x M.2 Socket 3 supports M Key devices (models 2242/2260/2280/22110). It also works in PCIE and SATA configurations.

I searched there, but the back wasn't visible and I wasn't certain if it existed.

I didn't realize my board came with one until after I removed it from the stand to fit it into a case. Wow! It's a clever hidden M2 slot! Such smart design!

I hold the board and verify there are just two M.2 ports available.

I once owned that board at one time before it became a big deal. But honestly, the board is way more than necessary even for a 5950x setup.
