MSI goes on to say that two PCIe x4 M.2 cards offer the potential for up to 64Gbps transfers, even though the chipset’s link to the CPU is only 32Gbps. Though these are shared with the SATA-Express connectors, MSI splits the interface types so that installing a PCIe m.2 card keeps the corresponding SATA ports available at the SATA-E connector.
Two M.2 slots are located forward of the top and bottom PCIe x1 slots, and each features both PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA 6Gbps x2 connections. The third x16-length slot draws four lanes from the Z170 PCH, and two additional switches drop it to x1 mode whenever a card is placed into one of the three x1 slots above.

Two PCIe x16 slots support dual graphics card in an x8/x8 configuration, or a single card with full x16 bandwidth, as four of those little two-lane switches between the slots are responsible for detecting the second card and diverting lanes to it.
