Video Description

I explain in this video what devices PCIe x1 slots are used for on a motherboard. I also attempt to explain what PCIe lanes are and what PCIe version has to do with the PCIe x1 slot. All in the effort to make sure you get a good grasp of the what an x1 slot is. Read in Detail What PCIe x1 Slots are Used For: ➤ https://pcguide101.com/motherboard/what-are-pcie-x1-slots-used-for/ ➤ https://pcguide101.com/motherboard/what-are-pcie-lanes/ An x1 slot is basically the smallest PCIe slot on a motherboard that is used to add low demanding add-in cards such as WiFi Cards, Network Cards etc. The number "1" after the letter "x" denotes the amount of PCIe lanes the slot has. As such it has the lowest throughput (or transfer rate) of all the PCIe slots out there. If you are someone who is a DIY PC builder, then understanding what PCIe x1 slot and what PCIe lanes are is a very important consideration so that you can install various hardware components in the right slots.
