Explaining PCIe Slots

PCIe slots come in different physical configurations: x1, x4, x8, x16, x32 The number after the x tells you how many lanes (how data travels to

The PCIe device uses the 100MHz clock as a reference for its PLL in order to generate the actual 5Gbit 10Git etc clock used to move

where is the gold slot Essentially, PCIe is a data transfer bus The purpose of any bus is to offer a standardized physical structure -- the slot and electrical contacts

where''s the gold slot machine 2, for a PCIE based it will pull form the x4 slot beneath it This was to give you the flexibility of SATA based drives or PCIE based drives
