Very valid point, but I don't know how fast you will hit the chipset speed limits; that NIC is connected to the chipset that is connected to the CPU via a 4x PC

Very valid point, but I don't know how fast you will hit the chipset speed limits; that NIC is connected to the chipset that is connected to the CPU via a 4x PCIe link and from there to the nVME with 4x PCIe link. In theory you have 4 or 8 GB/sec max bandwidth, but the CPU-chipset link is not dedicated. If you go for Threadripper the math is very different, you have lots of direct CPU connections for (multiple) NIC and multiple nVME.
