Honestly when I first learned about NVMe drives I thought they’d be plugged directly into the PCIe slot and I was wondering how many inserts/removals they’re rated for.
I was happy to learn about an adapter to wear out (hypothetically, at least) instead of the slot on my board.
What is this supposed to be a retort to? U.3 and U.2 are evolutions of SATA Express, and that has always supported PCIe, it’s right there in the name. And no, this isn’t a reference to NVMe. You could have AHCI over PCIe, no NVMe involved whatsoever.
That’s like having TCP as the hood and IP as below the hood.
Everyone is well aware it’s PCIe. Some of the first NVMe devices were just PCIe cards. The funky connector is something used in consumer country.

Lol sure.
How about U.2/U.3?
