The Z270 motherboard will get you six Intel chipset based SATA 6 Gb/s storage ports to the motherboard and then another 2 from ASMedia. Combined in here are two M.2. PCI Express slots using x4 lanes, giving the port not 10 GB/sec but 32 GB/sec performance. There are plenty USB 3.0 and 3.1 ports available through internal motherboard connectors. BTW the industry calls USB 3.0 USB 3.1 Gen 1 these days, a little misleading TBH. USB 3.1 Gen 2 would be the new and proper 10 Gbps connectors.

You will get four DIMM slots offer support for dual-channel DDR4 memory up to even 3867 MHz (OC). If you activate the XMP 2.0 profile in the BIOS, your memory will be automatically configured for you at its maximum clock speed and recommended voltage.  You can install a maximum of 64 GB in total.

Yep, you may unleash the ultimate power in graphics configurations. Support for up to 3 full length discrete VGA cards. SLI Connectors. Nothing for Crossfire bridges, as AMD dropped Crossfire bridges and passes compositing data over the PCI-Express bus these days. Mind you that we can only recommend you to go with 2x multi-GPU. Three cards would bog down the 3rd card at a x4 link.

ASRock includes the new model High Bandwidth SLI bridge, a simple cheap version though so no LEDs or anything. Good stuff, we like to see that very much.

You'll find lots of little connectors on the PCB intended for features like USB and small switches, overall a very feature rich motherboard. ASRock also includes power buttons and switches and even a diagnostic POST LED.
