Totally, as long as it reaches the numbers MS provided who cares.It could be pcie 237, it just need to be able to reach stated numbers.
Edit: Shit I just figured, I watched Shinning last night maybe that pcie number wasn't that random.

Maybe Sony will post a tweet saying were the only next gen console to use "full" or "true" pcie gen 4 ssd..?
Anyone....

X470 is not PCIe version 4.0 compliant.No one said otherwise. You are right. Maybe read again what all people here are saying? Only noticeable customization is cramping 4x lanes of PCIe 3.0 into 2x lanes of PCIe 4.0. Reason? PCIe 4.0 total lanes budget inside the motherboard. This is also a problem with PC as many stupid fucks install everything top quality then whine about the underwhelming performance due to many parts sucking power from each other, like me avoiding 2nd NVMe m.2 SSD (m.2_2) because it'll draw power from the main GPU/CPU:
What's more stupid is SLI/Crossfire as it'll heavily suck power from the main GPU/CPU in such motherboard!
PS; I own ASUS ROG Strix X570 which supports PEG slots bifurcation mode.

Your 2700X is NOT "Zen 2" at 7nm.
2700X is "Zen 1.5" at 12 nm. Zen 1.x does not have true 256-bit AVX hardware.
My Ryzen 9 3900X is Zen 2 at 7nm. Zen 2.x has 256-bit AVX hardware. AVX hardware on Zen 3 is better when compared to Zen 2.

I was telling people more than a month ago before this came out that it is the equivalent to a gen 3 x4 drive (and that is exactly what it is using) when people were trying to justify the stupidly high price of these XSX drives. Some people just don't understand that PCIe is just an interface and it makes no difference on the actual drives they're selling.
It's a drive designed for PCIe x4 gen 3 as stated in its product page and matches its spec exactly at 2.4Gb/s but also clearly obvious from the physical interface which is clearly 'gen 3' x4. This then is connected to a PCIe x2 Gen 4 interface on the SoC through a "custom ASIC" on the mainbord. I doubt it's even on the drive otherwise there would be no reason for that x4 pinout.

decided to get an Xbox Series X instead of a PS5. I thought that was too crazy to be real.

Well, that's not a bad dream. One guy told me that he dreamt of fucking me and he's not even gay.
You must be REALLY hot

Nah, dreams sometimes don't make sense, I've even dreamt of fucking a monster one time.
Imagine what I'll dream if I was alcoholic. I'm the guy with the green turban on the left:

I don't know what's going on and how this relates to SSDs but I did enjoy it!

Even worse mate I'm a Sunderland fan..Good, I also enjoyed Man United beating Newcastle United 4-1 lately.
Anyhow I'm now sitting watching videos of you explaining various trees - sometimes things just don't play out the way you expect.

I can answer that for you, nothing. You just fell into some half-coma : D

I'm honoured! Consider me your perfect, free-of-charge tour guide if you ever consider stepping a foot in Salalah, Oman!
It's hard to make sense of some dreams, but my worst nightmares came from original RE2 on PS1 back in the day. Mainly the lickers.

ASUS starts removing PCIe 4.0 support from pre-X570 AM4 motherboards - OC3D
ASUS starts removing PCIe 4.0 support from pre-X570 AM4 motherboards We have confirmed that ASUS has started to remove PCIe 4.0 support from their pre-X570 AMD series motherboards, preventing PCIe 4.0 devices from accessing their full performance levels when using 300-series and 400-series...
We have confirmed that the latest BIOS files for AMD's ROG Strix X470-I Gaming, Crosshair VI Hero and Crosshair VII Hero already lack PCIe 4.0 support. We expect ASUS' other AM4 motherboards to be impacted once new BIOS iterations are available.
FYI, PCIe 4.0 support was removed from B450/X470 series chipsets and you will need a BIOS update with Zen 3. LOL

Just for more weirdness.
Some peoples Series S consoles are showing up with SSDs that have the full Phison E19 PCIE4 drive.
