    Hello, Is it possible to fit 2 Intel 750 ssd's(Pci-E Card version) Along with 2 Nvidia Graphics Card's with this mobo:

    https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z10PED8_WS/

    Going for raid with 3 drives, one with m.2 slot and 2 others, card version if there is room, if not, might have to go with the Asus m.2 mini card + the hyper adapter kit.

    If I use this dual m.2 card, will I lose performance as oppose to doing single card with 1 m.2 ssd?

    Also found this:

    In regards about cpu lanes, I think I should be ok if 2 cpu's are present on this mobo.

    Lets say my next build would be 2 pascal gpus along with 3 intel 750 ssd's(400gb version), 1 m.2 card and 2 others are pci-e card based along with 2 nvidia gpu's, do you all think I will have enough cpu lanes to feed all of this? Think should be alright.

    2 Cpu's are going on that mobo.

    Hopefully I should be ok with the cpu lanes being used up.

    Thanks a bunch.

    According to the manual slots 1,3,5,&7 are x16 PCI Express slots so two for video card's and two for SSD's,
