@Hexus Did you try removing the chipset shroud to see whether a custom heatsink could be swapped-in or the fan replaced like-for-like? Most longevity concerns seems to focus on the chipset fan as a key weakness.
Agree that the 4 sata ports suck. I can't figure out why they did that. Even just splitting some sataIII ports to sataII would be useful given HDD still don't really need SATA3 bandwidth.

I expect most people with high volume storage requirements will more likely have a NAS or something.
I have 4x HDs, 2x NVME's and 2 optical drives.Quote:

I have a ton of HDDs. No M.2 though, nor does it particularly interest me. When I finally upgrade to a 3700X I might get one, but only if the price difference between that and the same-size SATA is a tenner or so. But ya I have 8 drives plugged into this system.Quote:

I'd either get a 1tb m.2, or 2x512gb SATA, and combine them with 2 current 512gb for a 2tb RAID0. Should get pretty decent performance out of it, and as it's purely for gaming, data loss isn't an issue.
m.2 nvme is way faster than 2 x sata ssd's in raid matey....Quote:

You *should* be interested as if you get a 3700X and an X570 motherboard 5 gig a second is easily obtainable
4* I'd buy 2 and combine them with current 2Quote:

Bandwidth isn't the issue (IIRC the CPU alone can run more drives than 4), they're running out of real estate on the board to fit them.Quote:
