I bought two of the HR-10s and learned the hard way that modern motherboards are not designed with these in mind.

Only the secondary M.2 slot is useful for this, but even then, it's also under two more PCIe headers if I want to use expansion cards. It's all designed for flat SSD heatsinks at ½ inch at best.

At any rate, this seems silly.
Gen 5 read/write at 13-15 Gb/s gets pretty toasty apparently. This seems great for a homelab and laughable overkill for the gamers it likely targets.
