Wecome to my channel! I hope you like my content! In real life I'm a voice actor and singer, but I used to be in IT for some 23 years. In the years I have worked in IT, I didn't really have the drive to tinker with computers at home, but as soon as I quit my job... the hobby started coming back to me! On this channel, I will post irregular videos about computer-related stuff that interests me.

Video Description
There's a stupid mistake in the video. The speeds you see in my test setup, are all PCIe 2.0, not 3.0. Apparently I don't know my test setup as good as I though I did... This actually means more old systems would be able to reach the same speeds, but a true PCIe 3.0 slot should give you much higher levels. This is the NVMe drive I used in this test: https://amzn.to/41ef834 The adapter cards in order of appearance: GLOTRENDS 22110 M.2 NVMe to PCIe X4 adapter: https://amzn.to/3OEnycl Fenvi M.2 to PCI 4.0/3.0 X1 adapter: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_De2KsdT Jeyi M.2 to PCIe 4.0/3.0 X4 adapter: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlzkOtj If you like my content and want to support me, I'm very fond of coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/exitguy Planning to buy something off Amazon?
