S15E07 - A Must Watch - PCIe Expansion Slots and Drive Boards

We are not quite ready to talk about data protection techniques because we still need a bridge between that and the hardware – specifically expansion slots. This really does tie back into the 4 penultimate videos – MOST PARTICULARLY, the most recent 2 videos on MB selection. Are you getting all that you need or are thinking you are paying for?

I feel confident that in many cases, things we buy are not actually deffective – it’s that we didn’t understood how it works. What are SATA drives – sticks? Credit card drives? Both? What’s a B or M slot? Are PCI and PCIe the same? If we wanted to add drives by an expansion slot – are there compatability issue we can stumbe into? Will all 4 lane (x4) slots run an expansion board with 1 to say 4 NVMe drives on it? . © 2025 Del Hollow Productions
