Detailed explanation-1: -There are 5 common types of PCIe slots and cards: x1, x2, x4, x8, and x16. The numbers represent the number of lanes on the card or slot. Just like the lanes on a road, these lanes are paths for data to travel on.
Detailed explanation-2: -What Is PCIe 4.0? If you’ve built a PC before, you’ll recognize the PCIe slots running horizontally across your motherboard. PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-bandwidth expansion bus commonly used to connect graphics cards and SSDs, as well as peripherals like capture cards and wireless cards.
Detailed explanation-3: -For most people buying a PC today, one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 4.0 M. 2 slot (which you can get from any H510, B550, B560, H570 or Z590 motherboard) is more than enough.
Detailed explanation-4: -GT/s is the rate of bits (0’s and 1’s) transferred per second that get transmitted from the host to the end device or endpoint. Let’s look at a real world example of NVMe drive operating at PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0. Industry standard NVMe drives use 4 PCIe lanes.
Detailed explanation-5: -The standard PCI card form factor is 107mm x 312mm [4.2” x 12.283"].
