I have both nvme drives 🙂 They are in still box since black friday and my processor too. I am looking for motherboard since. A few days ago made my decision to buy this board.

Hi Levente!
On any motherboard, you can easily connect multiple SATA 2.5 and 3.5 drives. But, the problem arises when your motherboard has a single M.2 slot and you have two M.2 drives to install. Fortunately, this motherboard (Asus Rog Strix X570-E Gaming) has two dedicated M.2 slots. So, you will be able to use both of your NVMe drives without any hassles. In fact, you can install dual 4th generation NVMe SSDs.
