I am a Computer Hardware professional. I started working with computer technology in the early eighties. I have seen the evolution of technology starting with closed platforms like the game console era and then the move toward open platforms like the Home Computer Golden Age. In the last 5 or 10 years, I have witnessed technology changes that are slowly moving away from open hardware designs towards hardware that is locked down and can’t be modified by the user.

    Are those PCIe cards any good? Because I used up all the ones on my motherboard and I can fit more drives in my case.

      Yes, as long as you don’t get the bottom of the barrel cheap ones. Also make sure you have enough power for the drives.
