These are the cards I am using:

- Pro Tools HDX
- Free PCIe
- StarTech 2-Port 10Gbps USB-A & USB-C PCIe Card

If you please can suggest me in which slots you would put the cards and if the NVMe drive you suggest for the MacOS or for the Pro Tools Sessions?

right now the MacOS is on a SSD

Thanks again

In particular if you can get the M.2 drives in the cheese grater classics configured to effectively have 4 x PCIe3 lanes via a switch based adapter card then you are getting pretty impressive performance out of a single card. And with 990 Pro M.2 drive going up to 4TB that's not a bad size for many users who don't have lots of samples or need video storage.

Thanks for mentioning the updates/tools you are current on that stuff, it's been a long while for me.
No thank you. I first got educated from your expertise years ago, and been learning a lot since, greatly appreciate.
