How many PCIe devices do you have?

[Pstark]

I looking into getting adding a PCIE expansion to add a SAS drive to my server and I think I won’t have the ability due to having to being maxed on PCIE devices already. I currently have:

 

GPU

2x NVME drives

10GBE NIC

 

My question is how many PCIE devices do you have in your setup? Is there something I’m not thinking that would allow me to add this?

Setup:

10700k

Z590-V 

4 SATA drives (2 array and 2 UD)

2 nvme (cache pool)

There's no standard max number of PCIe devices, depends on the board, check the manual to see if any PCIe slots are shared with other devices, if not you can have as many devices as there are slots.

I’m really just asking what a typical setup consists of in terms of PCIe devices.

It really depends, I have servers with 1 or 2, others with 6 or 7.
