Much more flexible and better privacy if you know how to...

    Review MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk Review: Dual Ethernet, Sub $200

    News The Ultimate Storage Monster: 32 SATA Ports On A Single Motherboard

    Sata has a rough bw of 500mb/s read/write. with 32 ports you still need 2x PCIe 3.0 x16 links to the CPU to ensure no bottlenecking, wich I hardly believe this board has to whatever i/o controller it uses. Add to that the fact that others pointed out .. this is a "Single point of failure"...

    [SOLVED] Multiple M.2 Drives Affecting Gpu Storage?

If you read som reviews on the newer AMD X570 Boards which spot PCie 4.0, its stated that there is not any current GPU's that use enough bandwith to even saturate PCie 3.0 at X16.
