Note: While double-checking the compatibility, I noticed that the proposed
Motherboard has its PCI-Express lanes configured rather suboptimally for my
workstation.

I found instead the MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI, which costs roughly the same
as the Gigabyte board but supports running a PCIe x16 slot and two M.2 SSD slots
at full bandwidth, or alternatively splitting the bandwidth of one SSD with
the USB 40 Gbps port on the back.

(This is in contrast with the Gigabyte motherboard, which can only split the
bandwidth of SSDs with the PCIe slot, and instead always dedicates x4 lanes to
the less-useful rear USB-C port)
