1. PCIe Host Interface: The ASUS X99 Deluxe supports PCIe Gen3 (PCIe 3.0). It supports 28 and 40 lane CPU’s, and can support dual x16 lane PCIe confgurations.
2. Boot RAID Support (NVMe arrays used to boot a system): The motherboard BIOS supports UEFI modes, and provides option ROM settings for UEFI devices.
3. Data RAID Support (NVMe arrays used for data storage): There are no apparent restrictions for data-only storage configurations
4. Recommended Controllers:

• Bootable Configurations: We would recommend the SSD7103 or SSD7202
• Maximum Performance: We would recommend the SSD7101A-1. If equipped with a 40-lane CPU, Cross Sync is possible (there are 3 PCIe x16 slots associated with the CPU, and they can be configured to operate at x16/x16/x8 lanes).
• Maximum Storage Capacity: Would recommend the 8-port SSD7140 (M.2) or SSD7180/7184 (U.2)
