“I am a software engineer and a photography enthusiast. I often have a lot of data to import and export. I upgraded my storage device last year. In order to save more waiting time, I bought the best products I can find on the market: Amfeltec-PCI Express Gen 3 Carrier Board for 4 M.2 SSD modules,This is an out-of-the-box product with High speed (4x960pro nvme = 6150 mb/s on raid 0),But it is not perfect
The shortcoming I face, like many other people face, is that the noise and A fan cooling system does not work well,Sudden drop in speed after a long temperature rise. difficult to replace fan.My old motherboard can’t run because don’t have enough power from PCIe Slot, also most important part is the price, have to pay almost $1000 if need more the then one”
