In reply to Dansolo. Just off the phone with Lite-On and this SSD is based on the Marvell 88SS9293 PCIe controller. The picture is a marketing picture and the connector on the base of the sample is incorrect. It should be only with a single space...or key.

Am I missing something? The article states PCIe Gen 2 X 4 which falls within these speeds, without the need for NVMe. The hiccup here, however, is the photo of the drive using both B/M keys which would only make it a PCIe X2 SSD as we have seen many times over already. Briefing set up with Lite-On.

Perhaps using the Marvell 88SE1093 NVMe controller?

Anyone know if this drive is AHCI or NVMe? Can’t imagine it’s AHCI with those speeds but would still like to confirm.
