Well, an early EVT3 sample of a Gen6 SSD.

PCIe 6.0 SSD with 30.25 GB/s speeds debuts at Computex, release date is still a long way off : Read more

It was actually no need to develop PCIe6.0 for achieving such read speeds when even grandpa PCIe 4.0 was perfectly OK for that. Just use all PCIe4.0 lanes by placing NVMe into adapter occupying and using all PCIe 16 lanes not just 1/4 of them. That would require different controller and not using NVMe standard.

This standard I find totally stupid. Most of laptops use soldered NMVe and RAM not allowing to upgrade SSD while saving space by using NVMes for desktop computers is a total nonsense. There is an empty space for 1000 NVMe in your desktop computer box. Or may be for 10000

It would be totally acceptable to see 2-3x wider and 1.5-2 longer NVMe drives for the desktop which could make cooling of them easier as well as increasing their capacity if needed.
