NVMe gen 4 SSD in PCIe 2.0 16x slot
Go to solution
Solved by RONOTHAN##,
Couple things:
1.) Basically all PCIe 2.0 motherboards I know don't support booting of PCIe storage, so unless you were going to use it as a spare storage, it wouldn't work.
2.) For the devices that have fully wired x16 slots of PCIe 2.0 (so basically Nehalem and older), you just aren't gonna saturate a full PCIe 4 x4 interface with data throughput in almost anything but benchmarks.
3.) it would require PCIe switches, which are expensive, and you'll probably end up paying more than your system is worth for a drive and one of these adapters.
Basically, it's a very niche product that for 99% of situations makes no sense, so therefore it doesn't exist.
