My motherboard only has 4 SATA ports and I'm trying to decide between a PCIe expansion card or m2 to SATA adapter. The ability to hot-swap drives is important. I have a bunch of old ones sitting around and I'd like to avoid system restarts to access them. Sometimes I'm not even sure which file is on what drive, and trying to reduce the annoyance factor hunting for them. Anyone have experience with these cards/adapters, or can suggest a solution? Thanks for any guidance.
