I have two things I would like to find benchmarks/information for. I apologize ahead of time if they are in another thread. I couldn't find them via google or the search function on this forum.
1. Does using a higher quality pci to NVMe adapter improve the performance? Ideally, the PCI lanes should each be able to contribute 400 MB/s for a total of 1.6 GB/s. The only benchmarks i've seen cap out at 540 MB/s write and 1.3 GB/s read. The SSD being tested in those is rated to be able to achieve much higher performance in both areas. I don't know if the difference is due to internal limitations of the processor or the PCI adapter itself. Hence my question.
2. I would also like to know if using a USB type C to ethernet adapter improves the network performance compared to using the built-in ethernet port.
