If you're a computer enthusiast or PC gamer, you've heard about PCIe lanes and possibly even lane sharing. Here's what it all ...

Seagate is demonstrating what they claim is the fastest SSD on the market, with a 10GB/s maximum throughput speed. That would mean the SSD is fully capable of using a PCI-Express 3.0 bus -- all 16 ...

Sabrent Quad NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 X16 Card This adapter allows you to add up to four PCIe Gen 4 3 or 2 M.2 M Key SSDs into your system through the use of a single PCIe X16 slot.

The new ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen5 expansion card can handle up to 512Gbps (64GB/sec) of bandwidth when the 4 x M.2 SSDs are installed into the expansion card, and you've got RAID0 enabled.

In raw numbers, that means PCIe 4.0 x16 could deliver as much as 31.5GB/s of bandwidth, versus 15.75GB/s for PCIe 3.0 x16. Just how fast are these Gigabyte M.2 SSDs?

Get the Sabrent M.2 PCIe x16 Enclosure for £12 from Amazon (was £20) The scenario we outlined above is exactly what happened for our GPU test rig, which had only two NVMe slots and both were filled.
