Confirmation that this addition will work.

I'm planning on adding these parts to my system. The aim for this is to have additional storage and wifi and Bluetooth all on the same port as it is the only one left.

Parts intending to add:

- dual m.2 to pcie card https://www.computeralliance.com.au/silverstone-ecm22-dual-m.2-to-pcie-nvme/sata-adapter-card

- m.2 to wifi card converter

- wifi card

- SSD

Toshiba HG6 THNSNJ256GVNU

 

This is all going into the bottom pcie slot on an Asus prime b450m-a. I from my perspective think that this will work but I honestly have no idea and am looking for second opinions. The top 3 links would be where I would get the parts from. I already have the SSD and the wifi card

the m.2 to pci-e card won't work on the B450M-A unless the top slot is empty, it has a pci-e x4 connector which the other 2 slots don't fit.

Will using something like this work instead?

sure, but NVMe SSDs will get bottlenecked.

Out of topic but seeing as that you have an ASUS B450M-A motherboard, I have just bought the same motherboard and I would like to know if I need to know anything before building with this MOBO.

Yes it should all work together, I'm just curious about the CPU choice.

It's 86 quid in the UK, it hasn't been this cheap before, ever.
