99% of the time I don't need a full pcie4/5 x4 speed. I'd be happy with like one pcie4 x4 m.2 slot and then a bunch of x1 slots. That to me would be a suitable replacement for 2.5" drives currently

    I used to pack my towers with sata drives. Wanted the same but faster and didn't like this 2-3 m.2 nvme slots age. This may work itself out someday. Pcie 5 x1 is 4GB/s bandwidth. Pcie 6 8GB/s - I wouldn't need any more than a bunch of x1 slots and a cage to mount a bunch of x1 speed NVME drives in
