I used Fusion to design this NAS, with a size of 390x450x89mm. It can fit a MATX motherboard, and it uses a CRPS PSU (12VO). There's a reinforcement rib in the middle, and on the other side, I have the freedom to design the PCB to achieve the expandability I want. For example, I could add 12...

Hi, I can't seem to find anywhere if an M.2 is inserted on the first slot (the one advertised as Gen 5) will reduce the number of lanes available to the first PCIe 4.0. It's currently running at PCIe 4.0 X16 with my 4080 and I don't want to loose performance. Any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone, So 9800x3d is coming and i want to upgrade on it. What i am getting confused about is with lane sharing on the motherboards with gpu and m.2 slots. I have rtx4090 and i may sell it to get 5090 when it releases, depends on the performance gap. So what i want is to be able to use...

My laptop came with a 500GB M.2 SSD; I'd like to replace it with a 2 or 4TB model. No gaming, just lots of apps and data. Does anyone know if the internal space is large enough for a 2280 WITH a heatspreader, or do I just go bare? Andrew
