Hi community
I'm hoping to have two m.2 NVMe SSDs in a mirrored vdev, however, my motherboard has 1x PCIe 3.0 x2 slot on board and then I'd add the second m.2 SSD via a PCIe to m.2 NVMe adapter in a PCIe 3.0 x4 expansion slot.
Will this cause issues that one drive only has 2 PCIe lanes while the other drive has full 4 PCIe lanes?
I realize the mirror will most likely run at the speed of the slowest drive (i.e. if both drives only had 2 PCIe lanes), which I'm O.K. with if it's going to work without any unforeseen stability problems.
Keen for any feedback before I order the drives.
Thank you.
