Pci-e ssd card connectivity

[Bart_Hunt]

Hi

I have a following problem.
I have a micro atx motherboard and it has only one short pci slot.
All pci ssd cards i've seen use those.
Now my problem is, I have asus z87 gryphon and 2 slot gpu in top pci-e.
So the short pci slot is unusable for me.
Can i use other 2 pci-e long slots for storage cards?
Are they going to work there?

Cheers

Yes u can, the extra length in the slots are for x4 x8 x16 devices that need more bandwidth, i.e. gfx cards etc and are backwards compatible
