Hey guys, i'm using this PC part picker website. When I pick a motherboard, it gives me this incompatibility issue:

"The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 GB/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled."

Please explain what this means and what kind of motherboard I can select to fix this!

if you use a sata m.2 drive it will disable one of the sata ports

usually picking a NVME m.2 fixes the issue
