In reply to valentin ursache. Yes that is correct. It is one or the other, depending on how many lanes you need for each. This is much less of a problem with the newest X99 layout.

In reply to iCrunch. By "exploding" do you mean "sat on their asses for years even though high-end SSDs were too fast for SATA several years ago, and are only now just bothering to advance technology so we can move past that significant limitation"? Because if that's what you mean, you're absolutely correct!

In reply to Arne Berg. Intel has their own NVMe driver that should work with Windows 7 with their drives. Probably won't work with Samsung or other drives though.
