I completely agree with this. You'll save money by purchasing affordable boards that lack the complete feature set, and you can easily obtain a many PCIe slot B550 board.

When placing those expansion cards on cheap B550 boards, you'll find the PCI-E X16 port for graphics and one or two PCI-E X16 slots, but they're actually PCI-E X4 only... so it isn't that straightforward... you'll need to do some research.

Sorry. My schedule is fixed at 11am. Depends on the RAID setup and the HBA models used for SSDs. If they’re direct links and you want to split the slot without hitting the chipset, you can use an internal card. The CPU sees everything equally as long as those internal slots don’t interfere with the chipset. This could create performance issues. With Windows, the main choice is Storage Spaces—you can’t boot directly from it. Also, Parity RAID may slow writes because of extra calculations. If you're on GNU/Linux or UNIX, ZFS works better for parity and can even serve as a boot volume if supported (like FreeBSD 13.0 or FreeNAS). It’s also available on PROXMOX (Debian-based) for hypervisor use, and possibly on Ubuntu Server/Desktop, though I haven’t confirmed.
