Hello,
I want my Server go all SSD and upgrade to Intel (Quicksync for Plex).
Right now i´m thinking about the Gigabyte Z790 AORUS Master together with an Intel i7 13700K.
The motherboard has 5x M.2 slots which would all be filled with 4TB drives which would give me 16TB + Parity.
Now the big question, how can i add more ? Since i don´t believe (and can´t check) this board can´t use PCIe bifurcation 4x4x4x4 so i can´t use my Asus Hyperdrive card.
As i understand now i need an adapter card with PLX chip and UnRaid can still see and use any drive individual without any problems, ist that right ??
Second question would be if there´s any recommended on ?
I found for example the QNap qm2-4p-384 which can use 4x PCIe 3.0 M.2´s on a single PCIe 8x Port which would mean i can use in total 8x M.2 extra on this board.
Am i right on track so far ??
Thanks in advance!
