    Going to reload Windows with a new USB Window 10 pro.
    I would like speed and redundancy.
    Can I get both with 4 drives or should I just go for speed.
    getting 4 M.2 2280 drives.
    Any tips would be great.

    Thanks

    My GT80 only had 3 M.2 slots,and only 2 of them were NVMe. I don't think you have 4slots?
    But, my advice is to get 2 NVMe drives,and do a raid 0 configuration. It is super fast,and super reliable, Every one of my laptops I have done this with,and it has been way better. Then you can fill the other slot with a sata M.2 drive, and a 2.5 inch sata ssd.

    The 6QE model has 4 m.2 slots. The older models only had 3.
