1.This isn't a speedy gaming rig its a worskstation, single-thread performance isn't relevant here.
2.It uses a single 4TB PCI-Ex8 SSD for rapid access and SATA SSDs for general storage.
3.The RAM is fine, its standard DDR4. Its not running in some APU build(there is Titan xp) where ram speed is a bottleneck.
