It should be noted that those SSD speeds are all protocol limits rather than NAND flash limits. ~7GB/s is literally the maximum speed PCIE4 can provide, likewise ~3.5GB/s for PCIE3 and ~500MB/s for SATA3.

> the maximum speed PCIE4

4-lane PCIe, as most nvme drives are. I havent seen drives with wider lanes though...

Ah, right. Lanes. I should have mentioned those as well, thanks for catching that.
