Considering Sata 3 has been standard almost a decade, other than color, there is no difference in performance.

That is the issue with RX 580 in general, and I had the same card. Try to flash original bios to it, and test it again from there. But then again, it known issue for RX 580 specially sapphire card. The most effective solution is to use afterburner and set the fans setting manually.

it's only on bench, it will never get 200MB/s on real write or read, maybe on 15k SAS drive, but I never had doubled performance with Windows, Freenas or any OS with any controller.

Shit Thought this was for hdd, all I read is raid and steam hahahahaha sorry folks.

no raid will improve the speed more than it's bandwith. I know what raid is, and the OP want MORE SPEED

but the drive is still capped at 6gbps, and the system isn't load balancing the write either.

Let assume it is Sata 3 max bandwith is 6Gbps If raid 0 will double the bandwidth, how in the world you would get another 6Gbps bandwidth from?

Actually that's not the actual measure The slot means for the slot at the back of your case The wide between it is the same across the board, because of the case standard However you do need to do research about the board that you need for multiple GPU, 2Slots GPU is pretty much standard nowdays, and stacking between each of them usually never recommended because of tight airflow thats why the pcie x16 usually have more space usually 2 slots or maybe more rather than just 1 slot in between example like in this picture

By reading how much slot it has? I mean you already get the answer by explain it your self. the slot is mean slot for each PCI-e, and the length of it is same for every manufacturer (probably there's an exception for server market)

Also never get ATOM based or CELERON J 1000 series, or AMD CPU like E350, older processor doesn't have AES-NI https://www.netgate.com/blog/pfsense-2-5-and-aes-ni.html

If I remember correctly pfsense doesn't officially support or recommend an USB to Ethernet If you are looking for small computer for pfsense make sure it support AES-NI for future compatiblity. there's a lot of option https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-pfsense-box.html with 2,3,4, or even 8 ports for expansion. That just an example, you can try to look what's available in your area.

The lowest and oldest model that I know support nvenc is GTX 650, I was considering getting one fr my streaming machine but since the price is quite similar with GTX 750, I go with that instead. As for 4k and 60fps, I have no idea, since the limitation is my internet and output screen.

I am telling my experiences with It's like chain reaction for most people, just like exploded batteries with samsung phone, whole world reacted. even though only very small percentage. I don't mind if it just died, but it's not, PSU is expendable stuff, but it's blowing up. I would never take any chance with the same brand again, and I don't use only ONE model. I've dealt with many brands and even worse product, but none of them blow up, let say the seasonic one that blow up on me, I also would never use them again.

My family? I don't get it what are you trying to prove? Networking is very basic feature by today standard, WIFI is everywhere. People connecting their plex, movies, pictures even songs every day. What year do you live in? 1990?

Most critical feature is no remote desktop and can't join domain network for LAN In some case it can't even connect to shared folder on NAS. There are some workaround but, I'm not going to deal with it. If the issue is to save money by getting home edition, then just go to ebay or cdkey website and grab $15 pro key. I understand MS decision to make it home version, but cutting network access for most part is just ridiculous.
