Hello, my name is Gabriel. I have a question about my PC setup. The second PCIe slot supports 2x4 xPDI lanes. If I add another XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB drive there, will it operate at its full performance? I’m trying to understand how PCIe lanes function. Thank you for your help!

I doubt it. You'd require a very slow SSD. Some SSDs can overwhelm PCIe 3, which is double the speed of PCIe 3. The truly rapid models can reach PCIe 4, which is even faster.
