Then it’s probably time to switch boards. Anything that will expand drive connections will need a PCIe slot. Using an adapter that goes into an m.2 is probably going to have issues. Using USB based devices is asking for trouble.
I think I’ve found a solution. If I get a CPU with integrated graphics I can get rid of my GPU, its only an old quadro k620 so its so super powerful anyway.
I spent hours last night looking up new parts for a new build but I think this is the best option. The whole reason I have an itx is cause I really like the 8 bay case.
If all that fails I’ll get a new board
