Actually, the nice thing about this board, vs any other AM4/X570 mITX boards, is that is exposing 3x PCIE 4.0 x4 ports as well as the x16 slot. The M.2 (obviously), then each of the OCuLink's is EITHER a 4x SATAIII or a PCIE 4.0 x4. Even their website's not clear on that - you have to dig a bit further into the specs, or the manual. So, 3 M.2 drives is possible with the right cables/adapters, 2x M.2 and 4x SATA III drives for colder storage, or 1 M.2 and 8x SATA III. There are even OCuLink to PCIE x4 slot adapters - should you need. Probably the most flexible mITX X570 board out there as far as expansion - you are getting access to a total of 28 lanes of PCIE 4.0 in a friggin' mITX!And, if it all goes wrong, and you are not at the console, just point your browser at the management IP.... I talked to Asrock Rack (US) a few days ago - they are talking about a mid June date for the boards to hit north america.
