The third Prime B250 series motherboard by ASUS is the B250M-Plus. This micro-ATX motherboard offers most of the features its bigger siblings ship with. The board features the same 7-phase VRM as the other boards. Expansion slots include one each of PCI-Express 3.0 x16, PCIe x1, and legacy PCI. Storage connectivity includes one 32 Gb/s M.2 slot, and six SATA 6 Gb/s ports. The board offers 8-channel HD audio (compared to 6-channel on the larger boards), gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 ports, and display outputs that include HDMI, DVI, and D-Sub. Expect a sub-$100 price.

Nothing really interesting there, but for some reason I like the SATA arrangement

One advantage I see here is that you can use a fast x4 boot drive and still use an x2 full size 2280 drive for storage without an adapter which looks cleaner than having a secondary SATA6 HDD/SSD IMO.

That sata placement makes cable management a bit more challenging.
