This actually sounds like it could be a nice mid-range product. For lots of money, you can get a fancy motherboard and enclosure that routes a ton of CPU PCIe lanes direct to the NVMe drives. This ends up with a lot of performance per unit storage, which one might not want.
With a card like this, one can get a ton of high-speed (much better than SATA but not as fast as direct NVMe) storage in a regular machine.
- bick_nyers 4y agoCould one hypothetically install an M.2 -> PCIE x16 riser and install a GPU?
- amluto 4y agoI don’t see why not. OTOH, if you try this on an NVMe “hardware RAID” slot, you may get hilarious results.
- bick_nyers 4y agoStripe your GPU in a Raid 0 configuration for maximum performance, if your GPU doesn't have ECC VRAM, consider mirroring them :)
