A:AnswerI don't think B550 boards work with first gen. Ryzen according to AMD but check MSI because I believe some of the AIB parteners enabled it in the bios of some of the boards anyways.
A:AnswerYes it does. That was one of the selling points for me. It appears as of right now that MSI is the only one including this on the mid-tier B550 boards.
A:AnswerAfter digging through all the manuals front to back I finally found what i was looking for. Unfortunately if you using the 2 on board M.2 slots you lose access to the 3rd PCIe port which is the second PCIex16 that’s needed for the adapter to work. So in turn no you can not use 3 M.2 ssd’s with a PCIe adapter. It will work if you had an external adapter though.
