I figured it was like normal ram, where you just have x4 or x8 DIMMs
for low-end stuff, maybe
most laptops are getting better about RAM upgradability
since that's an easy avenue to upsell people
+$300 to add $50 of RAM
there's no reason at this point not to just throw 1TB SSDs in most anything as a main disc
especially as an integrator, the cost is so low
I still see people recommend 120GB SSDs as "boot discs"
but if you're going to spend an extra $50 anywhere, spend it on a decent SSD
most use cases can't saturate 4x PCIe lanes
gen 3 or gen 4
SATA SSDs are still fine
I tell people just go for a 500gb normal ssd cuz theyre cheap and basically as fast as nvme
FFS
notlikethis
anything that needs 4 pcie lanes
you can find plenty of stuff that will, it's just a pci form factor
since x1 and x4 slots are dying, I bet most of that moves to m.2
if it hasn't already
Dont they use it for wifi and bluetooth cards now
I mean,, it depends what you're doing
there are overpriced accelerator cards, if you're doing a lot of vitalization you might want to passthrough additional GPUs or something, network card are pretty common, sound cards for the meme
cache drives
Use it for ram
most of the time, you don't fill them all, especially if you think you might be pci lane starved
which will manifest as weird errors you'll never be able to diagnose
