I’m running a biofurification m.2. card that was $30 and it’s amazing, might want to try it if your motherboard supports it. Bifurcation is the ability for the motherboard to split individual pci-e lanes into multiple groups that can be used by many devices at once. The cost of m.2. pci-e cards plummets if it relies on the motherboard for that.
It’s from a company called Konyead, it’s their 4 slot m.2. ssd to pcie 4.0 x16 adaptor.
