I have a 40 lanes CPU, right now I'm only using three 4x pci-e adapters and one of the 970 is on the motherboard, my board support 4x m.2, it only has one slot for m.2 drive but that's enough to run the 4 drives setup, I had two 16x cards from amfeltec but I returned them, is really along story but I do not recommend that company at all, I just had a horrible experience dealing with them, I had 8 Samsung 960 EVO running 4 on each card and went all the way up to 18,000 but the Evo's drop speed very fast even if you use a single EVO, so it wasn't a raid problem, EVO's are just build like that, that's why I decided to go back to the PRO's and I changed my board for one that has at least one onboard 4X M.2 slot, my previous board has only one but at 2X that's why I was forced to buy an expensive card just to have the four drives, but now my system is back on business the way I like it, anyway thanks, just waiting for Mojave, just love the new dark theme and the features.
yes I have a Phantom 4 Pro drone and I do videos in 4K so I do editing and rendering AKA encoding
Here’s a fan cooled NVME PCIE card from MSI.
