2.7 M.2_SSD (NGFF) Module Installation Guide
The M.2, also known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a small size and
versatile card edge connector that aims to replace mPCIe and mSATA. The M.2_SSD
(NGFF) Socket 3 can accommodate either a M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module or a M.2 PCI
Express module up to Gen 2 x4 (20 Gb/s). Please be noted that the M.2_SSD (NGFF)
Socket 3 is shared with the SATA3_0 connector; you can only choose either the M.2_SSD
(NGFF) Socket 3 or the SATA3_0 connector to use.
