5 m.2 and 4 sata slots, that's a crazy amount of storage slots, what do everybody use the 9 slots for?

I use this board for a workstation/Lab for work and testing. Have all the SSD slots populated. Run multiple OS's (Win 11 & VMware workstation 17). Have one boot to high end PCIe5 slot, other boot to software raid set, utilizing maximum bandwidth for OSs & Data SSDs. Check details in the manual online. When you use the PCIe5 slot, it lowers speed for the others. Why I disable the raid set drives in BIOS when booting to the uber slot. Its a great board to run a lab with.

Do you have to manually install internet drivers like you do MSI motherboards?

I had to download the wifi driver (from Gigabyte website) and install manually to use wifi. During windows install I used "local" installation option to bypass needing wifi.

Does using the m2c_cpu m.2 slot limit pcie x16 slot to x8

Yes, the PCIEX16 slot operates at up to x8 mode when a device is installed in the M2C_CPU connector.

I see a slot for SPI_TPM , it is not included?

The motherboard has a Trusted Platform Module header (For the GC-TPM2.0 SPI/GC-TPM2.0 SPI 2.0 module only), but the module itself is not included.

Does this come with a Wifi6E adapter (the one with the two antennas)? Also, will this board be in stock any time soon? =( Thanks!

Yes, the GIGABYTE Z790 AERO G motherboard comes with a WiFi 6E adapter, as it includes Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 and two SMA antenna connectors. However, there is no information available regarding the stock status of this motherboard.

Can you put a soundcard on this board? is it worth the upgrade?

Of course you can put a sound card on this motherboard. You will have to use one of the x4 PCIe slots, since the motherboard doesn't have any x1 slots. Then again, as to if it is worth it? It depends on the sound card you use. Make it a good quality sound card. One that has excellent reviews and good quality sound production. That is the key. Choose the best sound card you can afford.
