Smallest motherboard with support for 5 NVMe drives?

Hi!

 

What is the smallest motherboard that has support for 5 NVMe drives?

 

I know that for example the Gigabyte GA-Z170X-SOC FORCE board supports 3 NVMe drives.

 

I also know that there are solutions like the ASUS HYPER M.2 X16 CARD that gives your motherboard 4 NVMe drives.

 

But what is the smallest motherboard that can fit 5 (or more) NVMe drives?

 

Thanks! :D

No board exists with more than 3 IIRC, you'll have to get a Hyper M.2 or something

Natively the Z370 Taichi comes close at 4. However any MATX board coupled with the ASUS Hyper card will give you 5+

Why not just buy a PCIe extender card? You can get this one from newegg.com. :) 

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)

Any smaller solutions than the Hyper M.2?

 

Main goal is to get 5 NVMe's in the smallest package possible.

 

A Mini ITX board with 1 NVMe + 1 Hyper M.2 might be the smallest solution so far.

An mATX board and a Hyper M.2 might be the best solution
