what i am looking to do is run a 2x1TB sammy SSD(sata 3) and 1x2TB sammy m.2 as a raid 5 and do the same with 2x2TB ultrastar and 1x4TB ultrastar (all sata 3) but automate a move from hdd>>ssd during current use and when done with move back to HDD using windows 10 pro this is looking to be done on a ryzen 3700x x570 system is this possible to do or should i just stick with a single raid 5 on SSD and just keep O/S on the SSD's with just program hooks on ssd and main program on the HDD's just need some advice before spending money thanks in advance

I would have to say based on a Z170 or Z270 MB you have 20 PCI Express 3.0 lanes currently you add a graphics card and a nvme solid state and you are already maxed out so even if you don't update the graphics potential or the solid state potential. Like all things if you have the room it allows the option to expansion later/ breathing room. So you may have a graphics card running 16 x vers 3 but that same graphics card would only run it 8x on ver 4 and that same solid state that may run 4x in version 3 is now only running 2x in ver 4 which means you've only taken up 10 lanes out of a possible 20 Which could possibly mean Sli or Crossfire and raid on Z370 board whatever it might arrive on
