Samsung SSD SM961-NVMe M.2

This is the kind of subtlety I do miss... Ok I downloaded the last version. Thanks!

It seems good so far... I have one question, with my mobo and two Nvme I only have two sata port left so I will probably add a pci to sata card, could it change the acpi path?

Don't look that good... Will restart though...

I suspect that won't work? I may be wrong but my understanding is you loose SATA ports due to limitations in the number of available channels in the PCIe bus? So adding a PCIe card won't help add channels?

Basically NVMe gets it speed by using a lot of motherboard channels.

Well, I'm running a Raid0 Nvme... Rehabman rules!

For the record, my "old" disk is a 850 EVO, not especially slow:

Now with the twin Nvme setup:

And more importantly, I have enough room to set my photo and video bench libraries on the ssd's.
I still have to polish my boot issues though.

You suspect wrongly... It's not the same pci lines I think.

You're quite correct I'd misunderstand how PCI channels work! Looks like a good speedy setup!

Not using it yet for photoshop, boot is not properly setup. Should be quite faster...
