i think the pcie form factor for a hard drive is a trap.
pcie is not easily hot swappable, and more expensive
than a number of smaller devices that can be mirrored,
thus not leading to an expensive single point of failure.
the ahci driver fully supports hot swap (or "surprise removal"
as intel calls it). one can easily mirror two ssds, or a ssd
and hard drive that way.
