    The PCIe slot is not for connectivity but for 75 watts power with the 6 pin PCIe. Looking at it now it is an easy way to have 16 M.2 drives in one place but would have to connect to a RAID card which means 2 slots would be taken up to make any use of this card. Each SFF-8643 can connect to 4 of the drives and that is why there are 4 of them which means 16 independant drives controlled by a 12Gb RAID card into a 16x PCIe lanes. 1x 6Gb per 4 M.2 (drives speeds upto 1.5Gbps) This would help on trying to saturate the PCIe bus for testing purposes. PCIe 16x gen3 is limited to 16Gb/s but not every drive would be written to at the same time unless a PCIe 16x gen4 RAID card comes out. Could be used with https://www.scan.co.uk/products/4-port-highpoint-ssd7120-4x-dedicated-32gbps-u2-ports-to-pcie-30x16-raid-controller

    With enough cooling (server application) then this would be just the same as a hard disk. If it was running on a 12Gb RAID card and the space and power saving would be better than hard disk servers.

    Just wondering if anyone has come across this kickstarter that is in prototyping m.2 card that connects to a RAID card ???

    I was watching network chuck and he was chatting with an networking nvidia employee and he has explained the services that are coming out of the acquisition of Mellanox. https://youtu.be/XIoHFklOcVQ?t=2320 Summary Thought this might help your progression with RAW RED footage. Quotes My thoughts Just wondering if anyone has come across this yet? Sources https://youtu.be/XIoHFklOcVQ?t=2320

    I was wondering if Seagate is only offering 5 year warranty in other countries other than the U.K. as some are having issues ??? https://www.scan.co.uk/products/8tb-seagate-st8000nm000a-exos-7e8-enterprise-35-hdd-sata-6gb-s-7200rpm-256mb-cache-512e-416ms https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/enterprise-storage/exos-drives/exos-e-drives/exos-7e8/ https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/support/warranty-and-replacements/limited-consumer-warranty/ https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/support/warranty-and-replacements/

    I know how you like spending money... NOT but i was thinking for the winners of the competitions getting a t-shirt printer like https://www.epson.co.uk/products/printers/large-format-printers/surecolor-sc-f2000-5c with the design out of a list (ones you already got) on the front and there name and competition they won on the back!!! OR shrinking the image (ones you already got) on there clothes (maybe a grey area if destroyed in the process)

    how finally AM3 is finally getting pcie v3.0 and is it worth the money when all that needed is doing is motherboard upgrade and not the whole setup https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/TUF-SABERTOOTH-990FX-R3-0/

    driver improvements from release dates (day 1) to future releases for both sides and maybe compare how AMD and NVIDIA improvements compare
