Hello:
I have the following hardware
- Z170X Gamming 5
- i6700k
- 32GB
- 2x Samsung 950 Pro M.2
- 5x HHD Sata
- Only One Graphics Card
- Sound blaster ZxR
However when connecting the disks m.2 in raid mode I will lose half of the sata ports and I am evaluating two alternatives:
1.- Buy a PCI-E card to increase SATA ports, however the cheaper cards don't have the same speed as the native Sata ports and also increase the boot time.
2.- Buy an adapter m.2 to PCI-E like this:
Https://www.amazon.com/Asus-Accessor...2+pcie+adapter
I don't know if I can do Raid without problems with the adapter M.2 and one of the ports of the board.
I also don't know if the PCI-E card will cause me to lose native SATA ports.
Would you help me make a choice?
Thanks!
