This is a Mac Pro 7,1
You found the real throughput of the NAND, after the SLC cache is full. Maybe even some thermal throttling, if the blade is not on a proper heatsink.
I do have heatsink on it... not sure how to tell what temp it's running at but PCIe sensor never got over about 116f.

Nice little tool that. Thanks!Check the temperatures and all other SMART parameters with DriveDX. While it's a paid app, you can use it for free for a 14 day test.

Yes I know that but there are articles like this:
Not for single SSD. 2, 4, 6, or 8 are the current options. Converting PCIe 2.0 x16 to/from PCIe 3.0 x4 requires a PCIe switch chip. A single SSD would be a waste of a PCIe switch chip.
SSDs fail, if you don't care with the manufacturer warranty and know that it will be voided, you can always remove it.Yes I know that but there are articles like this:
Should you remove an SSD sticker before mounting a heatsink? - Page 2 of 4 - HWCooling.net

Then how does it measure PCI Ambient? I have looked at that temp to get a general idea of how hot things are running in that whole bay... BUT I also recently noticed that I could get my 980 very hot running the Uninge benchmarking apps (in win10 I CAN read the temp of the GPU and it ramps down pretty quickly, so I surmised it was the fan on the card that may have kept the whole bay reasonable).

It's physical x8 but electrical x4. Why does it have an x8 physical connector if it only supports 4 lanes upstream?Anyone tried one of these "RIITOP Dual NVMe PCIe Adapter" things yet?

It's the lowest cost adapter with a PCI-E bridge that I've seen. I'm guessing a new product?
I tried to ask for replacement under warranty (bought on AliExpress in April) but unfortunately they want a proof (picture) that my computer meets the characteristics required officially by the card and that is PCIe 3.0 x16!
Take a photo of the Mac Pro slots, or go to a friend that have a PC with PCIe 3.0 x16. It's too much money to let go.
Okay! Thank you!
If your GPU is x16, and installed on slot 1, open System Information and check the link width of it. Then move to slot 2 and do the same.
System Information.app might not show the current PCIe link rate.
It seems to me that both PCIe slot #1 and #2 are working properly.
That all looks good. The graphs will look better if you click the button to hide the "Device to Device".
Since the PCIe slots of my cMP are working properly and since I was able to convince the vendor who sold me the card on return, I ask you for advice on whether to send me a new card or get my money back.
