The specs of the CM3588 says:
up to 4 x PCIe interfaces
2 x PCIe 2.1 x1 and 2 x PCIe 3.0 x2
or 2 x PCIe 2.1 x1 and 1 x PCIe 3.0 x4
or 1 x PCIe 2.1 x1, 1 x PCIe 3.0 x2, and 2 x PCIe 3.0 x1
or 4 x PCIe 3.0 x1
So, If I understand that correctly and I want 8TB of storage, Its better to choose:
2 x 4TB drives which both could use 2 PCIe lanes over 4 x 2TB in which each only can use 1 PCIe lane?
Has anyone meassured the difference in read and write speeds between using 1 or 2 lanes?
