Upgrading to All NVMe Drives

[ShadowPlay23231]

So here is my build i wanted to use 2 of the drive for storage for games

This is the adapter I want to use because i don't have enough m.2 slots

I was going to put it into RAID 0

The card is compatible with your system and Asus has a tutorial on their websites that covers all the steps on how you should install this in your system.

what was worrying me was the PCIe Lanes because my Motherboard has 32 lanes but my cpu only has 16. Is this going to cause an issue?

Do bear in mind that you get the most benefit out of faster NVME storage for your OS drive, as that is the one writing a lot.

This setup AFAIK takes 8 lanes from your primary PCIe slot, leaving 8 lanes for your GPU.

This isn't really a problem today, but could be going forward once games start using DirectStorage.

thanks for the information. I am fully aware. The way my case is i dont want SATA SSD's anymore since i discovered a design flaw in my case. I broke my SATA SSD from moving cables around. I dont want that happening again

Surely you wont be moving cables around every day?

you think by 2021 Direct Storage will be released? I am intel only kind of guy and by they they will have PCIe 4.0

I dont do it all the time no. I was removing wires and it snagged on the drive and ripped the SATA drive I/O out

If you're upgrading again that soon then fair enough.
