step using a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying
metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB
through additional solder points.
VROC
Upgrade your RAID
The PCIe slots can be used to connect bootable RAID arrays
directly to the CPU via Intel's VROC technology and a special key that plugs
into the motherboard. With our Hyper M.2 x16 Card V2* installed, Prime
X299-Deluxe II is able to host up to four NVMe SSDs on a single x16 card with
integrated cooling. Factor in the ability to add an onboard SSD and that's
access to a lot of ultra-fast storage, plus VROC supports arrays that span
multiple cards for even higher speeds and capacities.
M.2
