I have a Crosshair VIII Formula and have installed a pair of WD Black SN750 1TB NVMe drives in the motherboard slots and am currently operating them in a RAID0 configuration. I also have two additional identical drives, and an Asus Hyper M.2 card. However, because I
bought the wrong kind of card by mistake, I cannot use both spare drives in PCIE slot #2. If I buy
this Hyper M.2 card to replace the one that I have, will I be able to use both spare WD drives in a parallel RAID0 layout? I am wondering if I will have enough PCIe lanes to run my GPU (an RTX 2080 Super), my existing RAID0 array in my motherboard and also painlessly operate a parallel two-drive RAID0 array on PCIe slot #2? I'm confused because I should have 24+16 lanes total due to my X570 chipset. Each drive takes 4 lanes, so 4*4 = 16 and my GPU takes a max of 16 lanes, leaving me with 8 free lanes. So it should work in theory, but I'm not sure if using four drives in such a configuration is feasible. I don't know if the information at the
FAQ page for using a Hyper M.2 refers to a max of two NVMe cards for the motherboard or two just on the Hyper M.2 card while accommodating two on the motherboard.
