New build and PCIe lanes question
Go to solution

1 - i7 7700k
1 - 1070 ROG Strix
1 - Z270E ROG Strix Motherboard
I'm looking to RAID 0 the M.2 drives using 2x4 lane PCIe, and use the GPU in 8x PCIe. Since that will be using all the CPU's 16 PCIe lanes, would there be any conflicts with USB's or SATA drives I might add later? I'm not keen on how those work, if at all, with PCIe.
Most Storage devices are wired to the chipset, which also has "lanes" (depends on chipset). There won't be any interferences.
