Shoving RAM into PCIE Slots & the PCIE Future, ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs

Video Description

Sponsor: Lian Li O11D Evo RGB on Amazon https://geni.us/B3OD Shoving RAM into PCIE slots can solve problems, but introduces others. But Wendell thinks PCIE remains the future, and maybe now more than ever with CXL (Compute Express Link) devices that take advantage of the physical PCIE slots but transact on CXL. In this informal video, we go through Wendell's box of oddities to explore cool storage devices that GN rarely covers, such as the 'ruler' SSD, RAM in a PCIE card, E1 and E3 SSDs, and more.
