Can anyone confirm that its possible to make full use of all 8 sata ports and the two M2 slots to ptentially have 10 connected storage devcies?
Ive been out of the game for a few years and not really up on M2 and all the variations, but Ive seen some boards that disbale sata ports when the M2's are used, but Im struggling to confirm anything with this booard.

Storage - 8 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10), NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug
- 1 x Hyper M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s) (with Matisse) or Gen3x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Pinnacle Ridge and Picasso)
- 1 x Hyper M.2 Socket (M2_2), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s) (with Matisse) or Gen3x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Pinnacle Ridge and Picasso)
Just to put it into context, im looking to build an matx based Unraid NAS with a P2000 for Plex transcoding and want to look at running dockers/vm's. Was thinking of going with either a 2700x (thinking the more cores the better for VMs) or go with the 3600x with few cores but better perfromance overall.
Cheers
