Hi,

I have this adapter for my pcie 4.0 datacenter u.3 NVME drive. Its specs are 6000 read and 4000 write mb/s.

When I connect the drive to my mobo m.2 pcie 4.0 or 5.0 slot it shows that the link is pcie 4.0 4x, which is ok but does that “SAS” connector add some latency to it? I am not familiar with this connector type.
