I use an NVME SSD and it was recognized direct without setting anything.
The installation was quite easy and immediate. Has great connectors.
I really love this motherboard, it looks awesome, has a really nice amount of SATA ports, a nice amount of USB ports.
Has plenty more space and ports so more can be added at any time. A great foundation for further upgrades.
It doesn't come with an I/O shield and It is difficult to into your case and screw in due to the size of the I/o connectors.

What customers say about "Features"

ASRock B450 Steel Legend Motherboard

Nice looking board with the features to match the aesthetic.
The aesthetic is awesome too, and the RGB feature can be adapted in any way you wish.
Great easy feature to adjust the lights etc.
However, if you are expecting more premium features from this board, you should look elsewhere.
My only qualm is that that RGB software for ASRock is a bit archaeric.

Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE ATX Motherboard

The rgb makes it stand out quite well. Great audio codec.
The io plate was installed to the motherboard which made it less of a faff to get everything in the case.
The build quality on this case is great very strong with a really thick glass panel.
Brilliant motherboard, nice lighting effect and very clean looking.
The one problem I had was with the 8 pin eps, it's so tightly in the corner of the board that I struggled to to get the connector in.
