Four Gen5 M.2 SSDs, one PCIe x16 slot, 55.6GB/s reads and 10.1 million random write IOPS. HighPoint's $399 Rocket 1604L hits 94 to 100% of the installed drives' rated performance by using an Astera Labs retimer instead of a switch, so the card adds bays without becoming the bottleneck. Needs x4/x4/x4/x4 bifurcation, so think Threadripper, Xeon W, or server boards. Full review at the link in bio.
