That said, you're probably not going to see a meaningful upgrade to an SN850 for awhile (it's still one of the faster Gen 4s though the 850X is a bit faster), and going from an SX8200 Pro to a P5 Plus isn't enough of a jump to really be noticeable unless you have workloads that are super sensitive to storage speed. You'll probably have to wait till fast Gen 5 drives are available to realize any significant difference, and even then you very well might not notice it in day-to-day usage.

For storage, the specs of my old mobo says it has the following...
Here is the link for my motherboard. Gigabyte x99 ud3p [gigabyte.com].
1 x M.2 PCIe connector
(Socket 3, M key, type 2260/2280 SATA & PCIe x2/x1 SSD support)
1 x SATA Express connector
6 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors (SATA3 0~5)
Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10
* Only AHCI mode is supported when an M.2 PCIe SSD or a SATA Express device is installed.
(M2_10G, SATA Express, and SATA3 4/5 connectors can only be used one at a time. The SATA3 4/5 connectors will become unavailable when an M.2 SSD is installed in the M2_10G connector.)
Chipset:
4 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors (sSATA3 0~3), supporting IDE and AHCI modes only
(An operating system installed on the SATA3 0~5 connectors cannot be used on the sSATA3 0~3 connectors.)
Spec:

Larger enterprise drives are coming out, dropping the rest below. Used market is dirt cheap for used drives in the server market. But does depend on it's previous use, could have barely had any writes to it over the years, or millions.

1) the WD SN770 is more reliable
2) its also cheaper right now
3) AND the performance is right on par (between the 2 they both win and lose some tests vs each other, but in the end you would really never notice that in average PC usage)
