Hello people.
Looking at the following board: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B560M-DS3H-rev-10/sp#sp
and I see the following specification:
1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2260/2280/22110 PCIe 4.0 x4/x2 SSD support) (M2P_CPU) (Note)
Can someone please explain to me what situation would have the card running at x2 lanes? I assume it depends on what SSD card is added?
Following on from this question, assuming x4 lanes is available, that is a max transfer rate of 8GB/s. I am guessing there is very few cards cable of saturating 4GB/s, let alone 8GB/s. So fair to say that PCIe 3.0 standard is still sufficient (for now) and going a board with PCIe gen4 is for future proofing only?
Thanks
