X299 and NVMe (PCIe lanes) configuration
Sure, I can help with that. Based on your setup, you're looking at a 44-lane CPU and two GPUs with 4, 4, 4, 16, and 16 NVMe drives. That adds up to a total of 44 drives. You can definitely fit more, and adding extra drives won't significantly affect performance, especially if your GPUs are already handling the workload.
There are sufficient lanes for three direct connections to the CPU. The available options depend on particular motherboard models and sometimes BIOS updates regarding PCIe lane management.
