Storage Performance
The BIOSTAR Z590 Valkyrie has a fair complement of storage options and performed well in my testing.Notes:
The top M.2 slot will only function with an 11th gen CPU
When using SATA SSD module on M.2 slot (M2_PCIEG3_32G_SATA_RST_1), the SATA_5 connector will be disabled.
When using SATA SSD module on M.2 slot (M2_PCIEG3_32G_SATA_RST_2), the SATA_6 connector will be disabled.
