Good MB but some issues with NVM drives

The only issue I had with the motherboard was installing an NVM drive (SSD) as the primary boot device. Installing an NVM drive requires you to install Windows 10 from a bootable USB. You cannot connect any other storage device (including a DVD/CD drive) to the system, otherwise Windows will not see NVM for installation. After installing and booting Windows 10, you can connect other SATA drives. Also, with NVM installed, the last 2 SATA devices are ignored. Only SATA 0-3 devices are recognized and used.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Very expensive
