    During TTT, I got caught by this question

    3. A solid-state drive (SSD) attached to an M.2 port must be using the non-volatile memory host controller interface specification (NVMHCI) or NVM Express (NVMe).
    A.True
    B.False

    I answered True. The correct answer is False.

    After a few mins of pondering, I realized that the statement says "must be using ...."
    M.2 SSD can either be NVME or SATA. Now, i understand where I got it wrong.

    An M. 2 SSD will support either SATA or PCIe, but not both at the same time. In addition, system board sockets will be designated by manufacturers to support either SATA, PCIe, or in some cases, both.
