Storage wise, this motherboard supports M.2 NVMe storage though this motherboard’s single 32Gb/s M.2 slot, with additional mass storage being avaialble using this motherboard’s four SATA 6Gb/s connections.
On the rear IO, this motherboard supports two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, as well as 4 USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1, with several display outputs which will be utilised with AM4-ready APUs.
