hello,
if you are absolutely insane like me, you may have considered a triple or quad PCI-E 4.0 nVME M.2 RAID 0 set up via a PCI-E to M.2 adapter such as the asus hyper m.2 card or gigabyte 4xm2g4 card.
i got my paws on a gigabyte PCI-E "4.0" quad M.2 adapter (costs $130+). also picked up an asus Hyper M.2 on amazon while it was on sale for $35 (currently listed at $55), because why not. decided to bench my Corsair MP600 SSDs on the asus 3.0 card and gigabyte 4.0 card. results are pretty much identical. getting just a little over 5000MB/s sequential writes, and 4300MB/s sequential reads. PCBs look mostly the same. there is some power circuitry by no controllers of any kind. the cards just pass the PCI-E lanes in groups of 4x to each M.2 slot.
i have some pictures and screen grabs that i can post if you guys would like, but long story short don't both with the far more expensive 4.0 cards unless you really have to burn your cash. the gigabyte card is already packed up to go back to amazon.
