Is it possible to install 4 NVME drives on this motherboard?

[lovelyhead]

Hopefully some more knowledgeable people can assist me. I got a really good deal on 4x 1TB gen 4.0 NVME's and was hoping to install all four on my gigabyte b550m ds3h ac motherboard. Even though the drives are gen 4 I am ok with running them at gen 3 speeds.

The motherboard has a gen 4.0 nvme slot and a gen 3.0 slot so that covers 2 of the drives.

Does the motherboard have sufficient PCI lanes to attach the other 2 drives? I have a two slot GPU in the x16 slot so I assume I will need an adapter of some sort to make use of the slot underneath it.

Is it possible using this motherboard and if so what adapters will I need?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for your help. Sounds like 3 drives might be feasible but not 4.

I got these drives for £14 each from an Amazon price mistake which is the deal of a century so I would quite like to make use of them rather than try to profiteer and sell them.

Are there any AM4 motherboards that could take 4 NVME's? I would be willing to buy one if the price wasn't too crazy.

The other option would be to use a USB 3.0 PCI e expansion card which I already have alongside a couple of nvme enclosures and externally mount them but that would leave a lot of performance on the table.
