Just thought it was worthy of a share.

I've actually got a 2TB 990 Pro coming tomorrow to replace that SN850 just above, along with a 2TB 990 Pro to replace that 1TB drive.

My OCD is now at peace.

    I felt the same way when I finally got all 8 of my 4tb SSD’s and 2 2tb M.2’s installed. It was like I could breath finally.

    Do they not make 4TB 990 Pro’s?

  3. TallandSpotted

    I can hardly manage one M.2, how tf do y’all do it

    Sorry to mess with your OCD but depending on the motherboard (at least) one of them is likely only running with 2 out of 4 PCIe lanes or is being capped at gen 3 speeds (or both)

    Why did you buy 3 1tb. Why not just get a 4tb for the same price. ? Us less lanes too.

    That’s all well and good and satisfies your OCD craving, but I think you may need some heat sinks in there. These SSDs will likely meltdown if you push the envelope with your gaming.

    Well, I can finally rest, knowing how a motherboard with room for more than two M2 discs looks like, if you’re not using a pci-e slot type.

    why show us the before? to upset ours?

    I’ve got 8 x 4TB 990 Pros in my rig. 🙂

    Have you looked into what you’ve sacrificed to have all the slots filled?

    Not uncommon for a slot to share bandwidth with something else, might not be a problem for you but and example I came across recently was the 2nd m.2 slot would turn a sata port off if used.

    Doesn’t sound like a big deal but I was looking for a MOBO to build a NAS with, instead of being able to use the second m.2 for a write cache I would be better using it for an additional 5 SATA ports and connecting an SSD to that.

    Why not one 4TB and another one 1 or 2TB. 3 nVME can have some performance problems

    Hope they don’t get too hot! I slap lil heat sinks on mine to reduce any thermal throttling

  13. EndlessBattlee

    upgrading ssd? why? genuinely asking

  14. Unless you’re running epyc or Xeon… Hope you don’t need a gpu!

  15. DarkJoney

    I would replace Samsungs with WD tbh…

  16. slayer3032

    my dark hero’s m.2 heatsink wasn’t enough to keep my 990pro cool, those are going to thermal throttle like crazy with no cooling

    I wonder putting more & hispeed nvmes cause more resource usage on cpu or SouthBridge chipset with increased temps. I was hesitant to put one so close to GPU due to how hot it gets.
