Default SATA HDD on shared mSATA - SATA Port

Hello, i am looking for a mini-ITX Mainboard that support 6 SATA-HDD's and a additional mSATA SSD including WIFI Onboard.

I found the ASRock Z87E-ITX and think this is the best solution i could find.

But in the specs is written: "SATA3_4 connector is shared with the mSATA/mini-PCI Express slot"

My first Quastion, when is use the mSATA Slot with an mSATA SSD Drive, can i also use an SATA HDD on the SATA 4 Port or only one of them?

Second: Can i use the mSATA SSD as an primary Partition like C:/ to install and boot the OS on it?

Default

My understanding is it is shared, so as long as there are no hardware conflicts, they should work. Performance may suffer with so many drives on 1 port.

Any device that shows up in the boot selection menu can be configured as the primary drive.
