question about PciExpress slots and SSDs

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

I've got no free SATA slot anymore, one SSD can't be accessed at full
speed already [1]. I've got 2 PCIe slots, one slot is used by a
RME HDSPe AIO audio card and I fear that even if a PCIe SSD should work
without issues, it could impact audio performance of that PCIe card.

I consider to replace one SATA SSD after the other by a 480 GB or
larger SSD.

However, I'm interested in information related to PCIe SSDs, too.

Regards,
Ralf
