Recently Silverstone came out with a backplane to support NVME storage devices for several of their cases. I have a RM43-320-RS and want to get one of these backplanes in order to add some higher IOPS devices to my Unraid server. The new backplane has two SLIMSAS connections for four drives. My motherboard only has 1 SLIMSAS. My question is, for the second connection to the backplane, what cable can I use to connect my 9400-16i to it? My understanding is each port of the 9400 has four PCIE lanes and that would only give two lanes to each of the remaining two drives. Do I have this right?
