Hey everyone,

I am going to be using an ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 with a 6950X, 128GB 3200MHz RAM, and a Titan Xp. I know the Rampage only has one M.2 slot, but I wanted to use two 960 Pro drives. If I use this PCIe adapter, will I still be able to get the full speeds of the drive on the adapter? I understand I have 40 PCIe lanes to use, so with 16 being used by the GPU, 4 per NVMe drive, and then I also have an 850 Pro SSD and 4x 8TB WD Red in a RAID 6 array. Will any of the data be bottlenecked anywhere?

Thanks in advance.

I called ASUS today and asked this same question. They confirmed with me that I will get full data transfer speeds from both drives when using the Hyper M.2 X4 Mini expansion card.

Mods, you can choose this as the solution. Thank you.
