This is very awesome. You have the capability to put two m.2 SATA SSDs on this card and use raid 0 or 1. The card keeps them cool to help prevent thermal throttling.

    Nice.
    But, for Raid, isn't this going to bottleneck, since it's using only x4 PCIe lanes? (it should use 8x right?).

    Case: Asus Z370-G Box / MB: Asus Z370-G / CPU: Intel I7 8700K / Mem.: 16GB (2x8) 3000Mhz Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 / GPU: GTX 1080TI FTW3 / A.I.O. W.C: EVGA CLC280 / PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750W

    RIP this only being SATA. Good idea but it not being NVMe kinda makes this a tiny bit irrelevant with better cooling solutions coming to M.2 drives who are mounted to the motherboard or now Asus DIMM.2 

    As long as your popular enough, you can get away with anything.
