  Whats the problem?

  Each NVMe uses 4 lanes. For each of these x8 slots, they have two NVMes, for a total of 8 lanes.

  The x16 slot already has 4x NVMe in it, lol. The other x16 slot has a GPU, which is located in that particular slot due to the lovely 3d-printed fan shroud.

    Does the plx introduce noticeable latency, and does it get hot?

    I want to get a few, but I don’t really have the airflow you do, so I’m a bit worried.

      I have not noticed any issues with it.

      And- prior to Jan of this year, I used two of them in an r720xd because it didn’t support bifurcation. And- can’t say I ran into any issues.

      I also, have not checked to see if it was hot either though.
