Well I don't run normal system more of a Server/workstation guy and API's like Vulkan are fun with 24 Core systems :)
For the next upgrade I will be getting three of these:
Angelbird Wings PX1 PCIe x4 M.2 Adapter and on that use a M2 SSD this is probably my best shot.
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1215140-REG/angelbird_wpx1_fwkf_wings_px1_pcie_x4.html I can use about 3 of those, giving eacha 1TB M.2 SSD for storage
With that me specs with the GP102 will be the following:
