PCI and PCIe are two different things. I would hope that an SSD would run on the latter, rather than the former.

 

Obvious statement aside, I don't want one, raid on SSDs are never good.

Correction, RAID 0 is never a good idea.

SSDs are more reliable than hard drives though (at least the ones from Intel and Samsung are) so if you're going to run it on anything then do it on SSDs.

 

 

My biggest concern is that you might not be able to boot from it.

I didn't see NVMe mentioned anywhere. If I am going to invest a big sum of money into an awesome SSD then I'd want NVMe support as well.

Yes, I meant Raid 0 to achieve data striping. 

 

If it doesn't have NVMe then this whole thing isn't worth a penny for the consumer in my opinion.

GSkill is just Newegg stuff. I hear a lot of bad things about their RAM. A lot of my co-workers here at Micro Center had a whole entire kit just arrive dead. Tried getting more but they were dead too. Rather spend money on something made by Corsair for the same price. Plextor makes these kind of things so why not go with them? There are plenty of PCIe SSD storage's out there that perform better if not the same.

GSkill is a private company, maybe you're thinking of Rosewill?

 

I have a 32GB(4x8GB) kit from them, they have been working fine for the past 5 months I have had them and the past year or so my uncle was using them for his media server. To me, RAM is RAM, if it has a lifetime warranty and a good brand name to it, then it should be fine to purchase. I've never heard of GSkill RAM arriving dead, but maybe it was a bad batch? Or mishandling during shipping? It's not a foreign thing, but it is peculiar that they had multiple DOA's in a row.
