This interconnect is much slower than system RAM at just 16GB/sec for PCIe v3.0. Conversely, modern DDR4-2666 has a bandwidth of 43G...

I understand. It might make sense to support only selected models for server version, but it could make a big difference in speed.

Greetings, I'm looking for different options of setting up my home server, and have 2 best options so far, Primo cache for Windows option, and OpenZFS for Linux option. When it comes to speed, looks like its all about cache. I came across this post discussing the use of VRAM on board of graphic card...
