Excellent table at 9:00 I am just starting to learn about this, I am trying to self learn. Excellent title for your video and the pace that you speak is on point. I am watching this at 1.75 speed and I can clearly understand what you are saying. Great content, keep researching and editing and your video creation skills will improve dramatically. The youtubers I have watched have said that it has taken them 5 to 6 years to get over 100K subscribers it was thier passion for thier topic that kept them going and thier video creation skills dramatically increased over that period.

Thnk u for the nice video. On my older computer with an asus motherboard Ramage extreme ii (pci-e 2.0 x 16 slut) I just installed a pci-e to usb 3 card (the LC-PCI-usb 3.2). I use a samsung t-7 drive. Now it starts transferring great even at around 750 mb/sec but after around 6 secs it drops to 35 mb (which of course doesnt make much sence for me because I work with big video files). How ever, from the comp back to the drive it does transfer around 105 mb/sec. What am I doing wrong? How can I ghet at least the 100 mb/sec?

One question is are these speeds per device? Or for the total pcie bandwidth on the motherboard? If it is per device I guess I can add up all the device speeds to get the total bandwidth.

Hey man! great video!
One quick question. Using CPU-Z, it's telling me I have PCIe interface available for an ssd slot. Do you think I might run into compatibility problems when purchasing let's say a an PCIe x16 gen 4.0 ssd? (Can't find any more specs on the laptop motherboard)
