XcageIf someone like me does not have an M.2 slot on their motherboard, but has a setup like mine that does not need updating (Work Station) then a PCI-E card with similar IOPs and up to 2 TB storage is a viable option. Intel also offers an Enterprise level in the DC P3500 Series.
Most aftermarket Server Motherboards like Supermicro do not have M.2 slots on their newer boards either.
