Hi everyone,

I currently have a Gigabyte Z87X-OC mobo (F8 BIOS) with a 4770K @ 4.5Ghz and an MSI Gaming 1080ti. All my mobo SATA ports have various SATA SSDs attached.

What I would like to know is if I can buy a PCIe card to which I can then install at least 2 fast M.2 SSDs (970 Evo, WD Black 3D etc) and be able to boot from both/either M.2 SSD?

If so, do you have any recommendations for the PCIe card? Price isn't too much of an issue.

Many thanks,

Moley

Be careful, although that will work, it may not work as a boot disk, and I don't see this functionality mentioned anywhere. So if it doesn't, it means you would only have it as an extra drive, and not a bootable one.
