[SOLVED] How to know if my motherboard has PCIe 4.0

[AdamHFF]

Hello! So I just bought this SSD: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GL575DB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I just noticed that it uses PCIe 4.0. I need to know if my motherboard has that feature. I have no idea how to check for that so excuse my ignorance please. My motherboard is this one: Micro-Star International Co. Ltd. Z370-A PRO (MS-7B48) (U3E1)

Thank you in advance for any help.

I would return that you can get a 1TB for that price.

Could you point me in the direction of a 1 terabyte? Thanks

But also that one seems twice as fast.

Your first link is for a 980 pro.
Your mobo does not support that speed so it will run the m.2 at a slower speed.

Your second link is for a 980 which is a match speed wise with your mobo.
