Do you know ANY motherboard that can do PCIe bifurcation (x4x4x4x4) for 2 of their x16 pcie slots?
thinking...
16 lanes of pcie (x4x4x4x4) - first card carrying m.2's
16 lanes of pcie (x4x4x4x4) - second card carrying m.2's
4 lanes of pcie - m.2 boot device
1 lane of pcie - video card
3 lanes of pcie- other motherboard things/NIC etc
===
40 lanes. haswell XEON? 2650Lv3? or similar?
so, 8x 4tb m.2 drives with 2 redundant ones.. = 6 drives worth of storage. = 24tb?
Is this a reasonable thing? and also, is it a possible thing
