I'm ok to hijack my own thread, right?
So sdifox had mentioned the pcie m2 card. I started reading around and noticed there are several variants.
1) A dual m2 card that has 1 m2 using the pcie slot for data, and the other has a SATA port on the card for it.
2) Some cards require the uefi to support bifurcation which is typically only found on high end boards.
3) I saw a card from SYBA with 4 m.2 slots that states bifurcation is not required, but the drives can not be boot drives. There is a chip on it which is able to somehow not need bifurcation.

Again, I am not really building anything at the moment. I just started wondering about the whole multi m2 slot thing.
