Now, despite not planning on using the gaming W10 PC for work, I've been offered a bit of extra work doing some 4k media stuff.
On the Mac side I have a Thunderbolt RAID for this sort of stuff - although I was going to retire it from that purpose as I've not been asked to do any video stuff for a while.
I would have used the Thunderbolt RAID on the W10 PC, but as an Intel technology it's not on the AMD X570 motherboard...so I could take the opportunity to switch over to a PCIe NVME add-in RAID card...but that would preclude using the new SSDs on the Mac!
My thinking was 4 x 1TB NVME drives in RAID will be cheaper & faster than 2x2TB or 1x4TB.
Whilst I'm pondering my options, does anyone have any experience of NVME add-in cards (RAID or otherwise)...such as the Asus Hyper M.2 Gen 4?

Don't know why the summary talks about ThunderboltEX card, when the link is definitely to the M.2 card!
