Drive numbering

Definition
Each PCIe version corresponds to a specific data transfer rate
between the processor and peripheral devices. Generally, a
version update corresponds to an increase in transfer rate.
PCIe 1.x
PCIe 2.x
PCIe 3.x
The PCIe technology is under constant development. For the
latest information, see the PCI-SIG website.
PCIe devices communicate through a logical connection called
an interconnect or link. At the physical level, a link is composed
of one or more lanes. The number of lanes is written with an "x"
prefix with x16 being the largest size in common use.
x1
x2
x4

These numbers correspond to the maximum link bandwidth
supported by the slot.
