Why no NVMe racks on motherboards/in cases?

Hi all,

Quick dummy question.

Love the PCIe 'stick' hard disks these days 20x smaller, miles faster and no more cable clutter.

Why don't we just have racks of these? I'm imagining motherboards with four slots like the do for RAM dimms and four slots for NVMe drives. Likewise why do we not see four way adapters to let me go to town?

I get it'll take time to migrate, but would have expected to see top end motherboards innovating fairly quickly, but they all seem to stick with just one?

Ah nest, hadn't seen that hyper m2 - that's exactly what I need. Also hadn't spotted motherboards with lots - only looked at a few. Great to know, thanks! Thinking of a new graphics pc build and these will change the game in RAID.......

Hmm, what would the impact of that? Eg would it saturate the GPU and impact that or would it just limit the slot it's in (ie hard disks go slower than full potential?)
