More NVME?

[ᶻ𝗓𐰁]

I need more storage and I would like more NVME, is there a way I can have more than 1 NVME on my computer?

Which Desktop Motherboard or Laptop do you have?

short answer is yes.

Long anser is it depends on your motherboard or laptop. Does it have more than one NVMe slot? You'll have to refer to whatever documentation for your hardware.

I have two NVMe in my system. I've had three on a previous system. But I'm running a decent mobo that has enough NVMe slots.

Some laptops have two NVMe slots and some have one.

Don't guess look it up.

depends on the mobo or laptop model
some have 1x m.2 m key, while others have 2-3

not all m.2 are m key for nvme, some are b for sata, or e for wifi/bt nic

you didnt specify desktop or laptop, so...

assuming desktop..

no matter how many nvme slots you have, there are many ways to add more drives, but performance will vary according to how.

you can run pcie add-in cards, that can attach nvme drives, though that also depends how many lanes your cpu has, mobo's pcie configuration and as well with either mobo bifurcation or the add-in having bifurcation.

edit: also depends on mobo and if any other mobo hardware shares lanes with other mobo slots, etc..

you can buy adapters and housing/enclosure, that convert connections (external, or internal), like usb and sata for instance, etc.. etc..

even if laptop..

externals solutions can be used, while internals will be limited, unless it happens to be similar to older laptops, like a disk drive, which can be swapped for a caddy holding a storage drive, maybe has a 3.5in drive slot on bottom of case that you can use a storage housing/enclosure adapter, then w/e slots on mobo.

I thought most motherboards had more than one slot now, except micro-ATX ones.

In any case, PCI-e adapters are a thing, although more advanced ones need a motherboard that supports PCI bifurcation.

Ok seriously, what Motherboard does your PC have?

Desktop or Laptop?

It doesn't matter, I asked chatgpt. Thanks for all the replies everyone.

ChatGPT will say yes, but what will you do if the processor only has 4 available lanes or non?

CPU PCIE Lanes are for GPU.
Chipset PCIE Lanes are for the NVME

Some boards restrict # of NvME in slots based on CPUs, here is one example, see "storage":

Even though there are two slots, they won't always be usable unless you have a CPU that supports it.

Not all M.2 slots are connected to the chipset and not all PCIe slots are connected to the CPU directly.

Also depends on the CPU how many PCIe lines support.

OK ok look I know all that stuff bros.

Look the OP wants to be lazy/stubborn and we can't help that.

We can't help if we don't know what the PC Specs are; such as full model of Laptop and what that includes for CPU and current NVME SSD. Or full Desktop Specs such as Motherboard + CPU + GPU + current NVME Drive(s)

So unless they want to provide such info, no one here can help them.

Asking any AI BOT is pure stupid; it can't answer your questions without knowledge of your specs; and even then an AI BOT would most likely get that all wrong as its feedback is not specific based just based on general knowledge alone.

LOL... wow. Just admit to everyone you don't know anything while you're at it.

CPU PCIE lanes can definitely be split for NVME drives. All current-gen motherboards have at least 1 (and some have 2-4) NVME / M.2 slot(s) connected directly to the CPU too.

even on some boards with a m.2 nvme slot, it cant be used with lower end cpus

if the cpu does not have the lanes the board dedicates to its nvme slot, it wont even be be seen by bios

how many m.2 nvme drives the board supports all depends on the mobo and cpu combo
