A Deep Dive into PCIe Lane Values of PCIe NVMe Cards

By specification, all PCIe cards are backwards compatible with the lowest bandwidth x1 lane slots If the x1 slot is designed with an open end,

2 drives are “keyed” at one end so as to prevent the end-user from inserting them in an incompatible socket PCIe NVMe drives are 'M' keyed SATA ones,

m2 expansion slot 1) Mechanical Lane requirement: the type of PCIe slot required by the card “x8 x16”

m2_1 slot replaces the Mini SATA standard and the Mini PCIe standard Employing a more flexible physical specification, allows different
