Hey y’all, I bought a x4x4x4x4 4 slots M.2 PCIe card foolishly thinking that if it fits in the slot, it would surely work. In the end, I got 2 of the 4 SSDs working on my old AM4 X470 chipset. I’m coming to you for advice what the cheapest way to get to use this would be. I’ve noticed that a lot of CPUs have a PCIe lane limitation of 28, just short of what I need (I’d like to run the SSDs but also a x16 GPU). I’m not too keen to buy a threadripper setup for this occasion…
Cheers!
This sounds like a path I could take - just buying a mainboard like that and making it a NAS. Which board do you have there? If it’s AM4, I could get a similar one and just reuse my old CPU.
