Hello,

I have:


  • asrock z170 oc formula motherboard
    i7 6700k
    gtx 1080
    1x samsung 950 pro m.2 for windows+applications
    1x samsung 950 pro m.2 for data/storage

Is there an issue with this setup? I'm not sure how exactly the SSDs and the graphics card share PCIe lanes, and if there's enough to go around. Is there a different storage configuration that would be much better for without spending ridiculous amounts of money?

I've noticed a couple times now, when accessing a folder on my C drive, windows explorer takes a while to show all the files, as if it's accessing a network location that's taking a while to respond. Might be unrelated to my main question about the configuration I have.

Thanks for any help,

Ian
 
Solution
GFX cards using CPU pcie lanes while storage usually takes from chipset.
There is no better storage option right now. and doubt will be until Optane arrives
