There are 2 M2.SSD sockets on the mainboard, but the M2B socket can only be operated via PCIe. What does that mean in concrete terms? Because in the Bios it recognises 2 SSDs, unfortunately I cannot select a RAID. Idea? I tried everything according to the instructions but somehow it doesn't work. Thanks

Apparently you have to consider the following when choosing SSD's:
1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4/x2* SSD support) (M2A_SOCKET)
1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280 PCIe 2.0 x4/x2 SSD support) (M2B_SOCKET)

This means that you can only use an SSD in the M2B slot that supports the PCIe protocol. This means no SSDs with SATA protocol.
